6. Resolve Conflict Among the Five Moral Principles : Do all five moral principles reach the same conclusion, or do they reach conflicting conclusions?
a. If they reach what appear to be conflicting conclusions, then examine the nature of the apparent conflict to determine if the conflict can be resolved by choosing a previously unconsidered course of action.
b. If the apparent conflict among the principles cannot be resolved with a different course of action, then decide which principles should take precedence by examining your values. For example, if you believe that the ends can never justify the means, then give precedence to the rights principle.
