The Trolley Dilemma

[Mikey]

Yes
Yes
Four children

I feel bad for these choices but for example with the Queen, I think she would rather die than the four children be killed. There is always someone there to take her place.

Would you rather die if you was her? I wouldn't but meh.

In situation 2, I couldn't kill an innocent person to save others. I'd keep the train on whatever path it was on and not change it for both those situations. Although if it was 4 of my loved ones against a stranger then I think I would probably change it...

Save the kids, push the fat man and save the kids again

[e5]

I'd let fait happen.

If the train is heading for the 4 people, let it. I couldn't bring myself to changing that and killing someone else.

I wouldn't push anyone off a bridge, no matter what.

and four Children, or depending who the train is heading for first

[Lewis]

Situation 1: I wouldn't want to change fate and have blood on my hands, so no. Me changing it to one person that dies makes me the murderer, leaving it as it is may mean four people have died, but I haven't murdered to save four.

Situation 2: No, because that's making me as good as a murderer. And leaving children to die isn't me being a murderer, as the only way to save them is to murder.

Situation 3: The four children. I know nothing about the royal family and I don't care for it. She's like 100, so she's lived a long life. So yeah, I'd save the children.


​Very simple questions for me. P.S I've never heard a train being called a trolley... Where do these questions originate from?
