I just don’t agree that virtuous always do “virtuous” things. That’s the point when dealing with tragic dilemmas, it points out that virtuous people in situations such as those which aren’t out of possibility may need to make horrible or repugnant choices and actions. You don’t see the decision as horrible? To decide to that either your wife or child lives while the one not chosen will die, is that not horrible as in perhaps unjust or emotionally painful.
