Moral equations always end up being a mess. Did you ever see Star Trek 2 and 3? The lesson to be learned there is that moral equations (the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few) aren't necessarily correct, though they may seem logical, because morality isn't always logical. In fact, often morality is illogical. It's certainly not always pragmatic.
When I run into a moral wall, I imagine someone that I see as having good morals and ask myself what he or she would do. Is it a cop out? Probably, but it can help to add perspective. "What would ratbastid do?"
