Now, I was looking at philosophy websites and came across a rather intriguing question. It is supposed to test your reasoning.
Here is the question: "You are driving a trolley car and you take a turn around a corner. Suddenly, 5 workers come into view, who working on the track and are very close. You must stop, but the brakes don't work. Then, you see a fork in the track, but, there is a single worker working on that track. So what do you do? Do you continue and kill the five workers, or do you take the fork and kill the one instead?"
So what do you do, and why do you choose it?
After you answer that, try this one to see if your logic holds up: "This time, instead of being the driver, you are an onlooker, who is on a bridge over the track. The same situation is present, but the trolley car is definitely going to hit the five workers, no doubt about it. But then you notice a very fat man is leaning over the bridge, watching. You realize that all you would have to do if give him a push, and he will fall onto the track, and certainly stop the car, but he will also die. So, do you just let the trolley car kill the five workers, or do you send the fat a to his death in order to spare the lives of the workers?"
Did your logic remain the same? That's why this is such an interesting question.
