For those of you who aren’t familiar with it, this, the trolley problem
is a rather famous thought experiment that goes as follows:
Suppose there is an out-of-control trolley barreling down the
tracks. Ahead of it are five people who,
for whatever reason, are unable to move out of its way, and will be killed when
struck by the trolley. You are standing
next to a switch that can shunt the trolley onto a different track, where one
person is will be killed.
Do you throw the switch?
