The trolly problem.

5 Comments

There is a runaway trolley barreling down the railway tracks. Ahead, on the tracks, there are five people tied up and unable to move. The trolley is headed straight for them. You are standing some distance off in the train yard, next to a lever. If you pull this lever, the trolley will switch to a different set of tracks. However, you notice that there is one person on the side track.

Which is the most ethical choice?

Do nothing and let the trolley kill the five people on the main track. 12
Pull the levor and let it kill one person. 20

    I would let it kill the five people and go over and rape the person on the side track.

    If the one person on the side track is my ex, I'll let it kill them.
