... Consider the application of situation ethics on a moral dilemma relating to sexual ethics. The moral dilemma I am describing is based upon sacrificial adultery taken from William Bailay. During the war lots of Jewish families were taken away from their homes and separated. One family the 'Belmont's' were taken away by the German troops. The two children were left abandoned by the troops in the mountains, while Mrs Belmont was taken to a concentration camp in Berlin. Mr Belmont somehow managed to escape from the German army and fled back to their hometown in Hamburg where he was reunited with his two children. Mrs Belmont however was stuck in the Berlin concentration camp; a kindly officer somehow informed her that her family were reunited and searching for her. However he could not release her, as there were only two conditions that would allow someone to be released. 1- if
