What is the word when faced with a situation in which neither solution/choice is morally 'right'?

A while ago I heard a word which when I looked up had the meaning of having no morally 'right' solution or choice. Since then I have forgotten the word; it has been playing on my mind ever since.

Thank you for any help.


Solution 1:

You might consider:

Dilemma: a usually undesirable or unpleasant choice

The Fed faces this dilemma: raise interest rates and slow the economy or lower them and risk serious inflation

The lesser of two evils: Describes the situation in which the choices one faces are undesirable, but one might be less undesirable than the other.

The Director chose to cut the arts program rather than closing the school entirely. The budget constraints were unfortunate, but ultimately it was the lesser of two evils.
