[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. I am not responsible for the 5 people's death. 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]

I'm neither good nor bad. If I could switch places with hem, I would. Since I can't, I have to find a way to live with myself. Doing nothing makes that possible.[/quote]

Agree.
Doing nothing is not doing evil in this situation.[/quote]

Both doing nothing and doing something is doing evil in this situation. [/quote]
