What would you do?
Picture the following situation: You find yourself standing on a pedestrian walkway over a railroad
track and a train is coming. To the right, there are five people which are in a cage and are about to be
killed by the train. To the left is one person, also in a cage. If you wish, you may push a lever in your
hand and cause the track to switch over to the left and save five people at the cost of killing the single
person on the left.
Would you pull the switch?
Yes
No
