[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A runaway trolley is speeding down the tracks. If you do nothing, it will kill five workers. You the option to pull a lever, diverting the trolley onto another track where it will kill one person instead. Do you pull the lever ?
Why or why not ?[/quote]
I turn around and walk away. [b]I am not responsible for the 5 people's death.[/b] If I pull the lever, I am responsible for causing a person's death. I could live with the choice to do nothing and comfort myself by saying there was nothing I could do. I couldn't live with pulling the lever. [/quote]

You absolutely are responsible for killing the 5 people.

In the immortal words of Neal Peart,

If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice . . . I will choose a path that's clear, I will choose Freewill.

What kind of logic are you using?
Doing nothing in this case is not killing.
Death happened by accident not by pp.[/quote]
And how dare you judge without stating what you'd do?[/quote]

I agree with pp who will do nothing.
More people will die of accidental death.[/quote]
