Runaway Train Problem...

[Fez]

I'd jump in front of it, maybe the train would stop and I'd save 6 peoples lives.

DIDN'T THINK OF THAT DID YOU, HURMMM.

But if the 5 people where chavs then I'd let the train mow them down, but if the other person was Gordon Brown, I'd push him on to the other rail.

What are people doing standing on rails anyway? Stupid peoples.

Incidentally, commiting suicide seems like the most probable answer.

Easy answer.

You pull the switch half way, the train hits the fork in the tracks, derails itself, and ultimately falls apart while rolling down the hill.

The 6 people all live, the end.

If the 1 person was Glitter/Amber I would direct the train towards her, no question in my mind!

I would pull the lever, If you knew those 5 people would die, and you didnt do anything to stop it when you can then that is murder to a certain extent. And 5 peoples familys would be upset comapred to just the one persons.

[Technologic]

I would just walk away. Not my problem


Or if i had to do something, I'd put a donk on it.

It's no where near murder and you'd get zilch blame for it :S

That's like witnessing a train crash, and everyone witnessing the train crashing into a car when they could of pulled a lever "is murder to a certain extent."

[The Don]

No that's no where near the same example. If you CAN STOP a train from KILLING 5 people, and you don't, then that's sort of like murder...

Well no not really, however killing one person IS murder.

I'd tell them to get off the tracks sillys

Quite the opposite actually.

If you left it, then you would get no punishment whatsoever - yet if you did change it, and killed that one person, there is a higher chance of something happening.
