Isn't the best available choice the moral choice? If it isn't, then your moral code is letting you down when you need it most. What's the point of morals if they don't lead you to do the best thing?

When all the choices are immoral, my moral code leads me to the best choice, the least immoral.  It being the lesser evil does not keep it from being immoral on some level.

I APPRECIATE THAT LEGION, BUT THE GETH AREN'T ALIVE, THEY ARE MACHINES, MACHINES THAT GOT HACKED.

Deal with it

They have transcended from simple machines. Glyph is a machine, the Geth after Rannoch are a new form of life. 

You "deal with it"

I've heard this sort of thing before, but I've never really grasped the concept. If the action is as good a choice as you've got, what good does it do to slap the "immoral" label on it? You still want anyone in the same situation to take the same action, so it's not like immoral = don't do that.

I guess I just don't understand what work "immoral" is doing in the description of the action that wouldn't be equally well handled by "regrettable," or "unfortunate," or something like that.
