In the version of this question I saw on tv the situation was almost the same, except the lever opened a trapdoor under a really fat man standing on the bridge so he would fall in front of the trolley and stop it.

And then he asked, what if there was no lever but you had to push the fat man off the bridge with your own hands to stop the trolley?  A lot of people on the show changed their answers from killing the fat man to letting the 5 people die instead when he asked that.  It was kinda weird.




hahaha people are so strange. i'll remember that.. next time i need to kill a man, i'll just use a lever. then it will be morally sound.

What if it were a choice between Vanilla Ice and The Backstreet Boyz?

Vanilla Ice first with the trolley, then Backstreet Boyz hand to hand combat.

Of course, this answer is Incomplete.  I would also destroy all videos associated with either Ice or Boyz.



This one about Ice we keep for prosperity.

This is a COMPLETELY HYPOTHETICAL situation. Thus, there is no need to nitpick at the details. Rather, one should logically assume the parameters and judge them accordingly and unbiasedly.

A trolley is going full speed and you notice it will hit and kill 5 people who are on the tracks. You also notice that you have the ability to pull a lever that will change the trolley's course onto another set of tracks destined for 1 man. What do you do? Do you kill one man to save 5 lives?




I must have missed the "dilemna". :lol:

I would do nothing because there is no reason to give a shit about these random people dying. However if one of them was connected to me through an interpersonal relationship, I would choose them to live.

It's one thing to simply enjoy a style of life that one enjoys, but it's another thing altogether to refer to another person's choice as "wrong" or to rationalize their behavior as being pathological or resulting from some sort of inadequacy or failing so as to create a sense of superiority or separation as yet another projection of a personal fear or control issue.

Please briefly describe the 5 people and the 1 man (physical characteristics, type of dress, things they may be carrying).  A couple of pictures would be better.
