An ethical question was raised yesterday in class. If you were a engineering a train and on the
track ahead of you were 5 workers and they couldn’t get out your way and would
die if you continued down that track, and on another track that you noticed had
only one worker that would die if you switched tracks at the last second what
would you do? I spoke first and said I would
let the train continue to go down the first track instead of switching to the
other track because the original track was something that I had no control of,
if I were to switch tracks I would be the one who killed that one person. After I explained my logic I had a handful of
classmates agree with my way of thinking.
If you were in that situation what would you do?
