moral dilemma

a lot of times in life we are faced with moral dilemmas. do we do what we know is right or do we do what feels right?
in psych class today the professor talked about morality. everyone develops their own sense of what is right or wrong based on internal and external factors. some people may bend societal expectations and rules more to fit the situation they are in, while others may be super sticklers on following the rules.

my teacher presented the class with this moral dilemma that decider of organ receivers have to face daily
for example on the waiting list:
1)Jon Doe age: 65 need: heart waitlisted for: 37 months
2)Molly Sue age: 23 need: heart waitlisted for: 25 months

who will you decide to give the organ to? the person on the waiting list first? or base your decisions on other factors?

i dont know my answer yet. .___.
