Today, my topic is what is the right thing to do?
And we begin with a story
Suppose you are the driver of a trolley car
And your car is hurting down the track of 60 mph
And the end of the track, you notice five workers are working on the track
You try to stop, but you can’t. Your breaks don’t work.
You feel desperate, because you know, if you crash into these five workers, they will all die.
And so you feel helpless until you notice that there is off to the right, a side track
And at the end of that track, there is one worker working on the track.
Your steering wheel works, so you can turn your car, if you want to, onto the side track,
Killing the one, but saving the five. Here’s our first question?
What’s the right thing to do? What would you do?
How many would turn the car on the side track? Raise your hands
How many would go straight ahead? What’s the reason why the majority would turn into the side
track?
Well, maybe you feel confused. Now let’s move into the second case.
This time, you are an onlooker. You are standing on a bridge, overlooking a trolley car track down
the track come the trolley car. At the end of the track are five workers. The breaks don’t work. The
car is about to rush into the five and kill them. And now you are not the driver. You really feel
helpless until you notice standing next to you is a very fat man and you could give him a shove, he
would fall over the bridge onto the track right in the way of the car. He would die but he would
save the five. Now how many would push the fat man over the bridge? Most of you wouldn’t.
How can you tell the difference between the two cases? It’s a hard question.
