Question

TROLLEY PROBLEM

Situation: You are driving the Streetcar in downtown. The brakes are not working, so you cannot stop. You see five people standing on the tracks straight ahead. You can turn on to another track, but there is one person on that track. Anyone you hit with the streetcar WILL die.

Question:
Do you do nothing and kill 5 people, or do you turn the streetcar and kill 1 person? Why would you make this choice?
(THIS IS A HARD QUESTION FOR PHILOSOPHY)

Answer 1

Well I would yell at all of them to move out of the way, and if that does not work I'll try to look for something to stick in the wheel and well if none of that works I would turn the trolley the other side without someone if there is that option, and for my last resort I will turn to the side with one person while yelling MOVE! because it's harsh but I would prefer 1 over 5 its less people and well I don't know what else to do!
