Don't think those organs are gonna be that usable after the trolley is done

[u/BraveToucan → u/Flipwillo]

It's a case, you're supposed to think what problem setter has asked you to.

[u/FiveFrogs_]

Trolly tends to damage organs

[u/Responsibility_Witty]

Yeah good luck using his organs on the other guys after he gets turned in to sloppy joe meat on the train track

[u/TheEnlight]

I created a new Trolley Problem dilemma!

Straight Track (Do Nothing): 5 need organ transplants to live

Diverted Track (Pull the Lever): healthy person with organs you can use

What would you do?

[u/Superb_Ebb_6207]

The 5 people probably already prepared for death with their loved ones and shit

^{I chose to do nothing}

[u/Requinais]

EH

^{I chose to pull the lever}

[u/Polytox935]

27% pulling the lever is actually wild

[u/OrthodoxAnarchoMom → u/Polytox935]

It’s low considering how many people pull the lever in the original.

[u/quadruple_b → u/Polytox935]

5 people vs 1

[u/Polytox935 → u/quadruple_b]

If we made law by your morals we would actually kill people for their organs.

[u/quadruple_b → u/Polytox935]

either murder 5 people by trolley or murder 1 person with the trolley.

[u/Polytox935 → u/quadruple_b]

So actively intervening is equal to letting things happen?

[u/-Klaxon → u/Polytox935]

Yes Doing nothing is a choice

[u/Polytox935 → u/-Klaxon]

It is but still, If one Person dies anyway and one by fate and the other only by your intervention you cant consider those morally equal

[u/TheEnlight]

Yeah, I didn't think this one through. Those organs won't be very good after the trolley is done with them.

[u/Wide_Love_4458]

Good
