  • Knowledge Gap: Recognizes the lack of information about the situation.

  • Consequences and Impacts: Questions potential long-term consequences of actions.

  • Wife’s Desire: Reflects on what the wife truly wants in the situation.

Decision Analysis

• Decision Made: Chose to answer 'no' based on moral reasoning.

  • Principle of 'two wrongs don't make a right.'
