As defenses, justifications claim a kind of moral high ground. Justifications may be offered by people who find themselves forced to choose between “two evils.” Generally speaking, conduct that a person believes is necessary to avoid harm to himself or to another is justifiable if the harm he is trying to avoid is greater than the harm the law defining the offense seeks to avoid.  Define and discuss three of the six categories that are applicable to this defense. Discuss their good and bad points.
