Hmmm...
You find a wallet with a large amount of money and also the ID of a very old woman.
You find out at work that your favorite co-worker is stealing from the company, blow the whistle?
You find out one of your parents is cheating on the other one.
Your married, your wife is expecting a baby, through pre-natal testing you find out the baby will have some malady that won't kill it but will seriously affect it for it's whole life. Abort?
Hope this helps to at least give you some ideas.

You develop an illness which may be benefited by treatments arising from stem cell research.
Your girlfriend/wife gets pregnant unexpectedly. Do you abort?
Your mother-in-law propositions you and you're tempted.
Your elderly parent wants help to commit suicide.
Your daughter's friend confides that she is being sexually assaulted by a family member. What do do?
You develop a gambling habit. Do you help yourself from your child's education fund? An account at work? Steal money from friends?
You're attracted to a minor, do you pursue it?
Life is full of ethical dilemmas. If you haven't experienced many yet, just wait a little while.

Hello,
Well, are you studying Ethics as your major? Or Psychology or Sociology? If you plan to pursue a career in any of these fields, I would say you can do an oral presentation on the health care industry or elderly care and abuse. I did a paper in my gerontology class on elder abuse and how to deal with it. You may also do an oral presentation on how abortion is changing the face of social security in America. Less people in the workforce equals less money going into SSI.
Hope this helps you......................... :-)

It depends on what your intend to do in the next 5 years. Are you a business major? Why not focus on ethical issues in the workplace including sexual harassment, accounting violations, and other workplace violations based on ethical considerations.
In light of the numerous investigations for backdating stock options, SOX violations, and other accounting irregularities, it appears as if we have an entire generation of business people devoid of ethical behavior. Why not focus on this?

stealing by workmates and being asked to keep quiet about it.......ethical would be the money you would get as your share would be nice but then its stealing.........you could argue 'but everyone is doing it' angle, but if you tell you are a 'snitch' and could be fired if the stealing goes up that high.
sexual harassment either given it or being on the receiving end of it

Blast 5 years into the future, and if you have faced the issue record what you know about it, come back to the present, say what you wrote.

Perhaps dating in the work place.
Being asked to do something contrary to a job description that you should not be doing.
