The phrase 'grapples with the dilemma' refers to the act of struggling or wrestling with a difficult decision or problem. It implies a situation where a person is confronted with two or more possible choices, each with its own significant consequences, and must carefully weigh the options to arrive at a solution. This term is often used in contexts where important, challenging, or moral decisions are involved, requiring intense contemplation and evaluation.
