I guess it would depend what you mean by violating, and to what degree! Also, what is the dire emergency?? I don't like to be violated in any respect!
-
Only if its not in someone else's expense.

Morals are a set of rules you set yourself to live by, rules are there to be broken. If the situation was dire enough then 'almost' anything would be allowed.

"Thou shalt not kill"--but if he's coming at me or my family and I have a gun--I shalt kill!

It depends upon the situation. Is the dire situation more important than my personal morals and, by sticking to my personal morals, am I going to cause a great deal of damage? Yes, to prevent such dire circumstances, I would allow actions that violate my morals or even violate them myself. I may, or may not, feel pain from having done so depending upon the circumstances and the damage I staved off by violating my morals.

Not only in dire situations, but even in moderately serious situations. If the happiness or relief the other person gets is two times the sorrow or pain that I get, I will be willing to allow it. Personal feelings are more valuable for me than morals. When else will I get an oppportunity to show how valuable the other person is to me?
