If you really want to know a person, you shouldn't ask who they would kill, but what it would take for them to lay down their own life.

I disagree, there is most certainly something different among the questions. By pushing someone into the path of the cart you've committed murder, you've intentionally sent someone to their death. You haven't redirected a car, you've pushed someone to their death.

Question 4
Save the patient with the broken finger. There is a risk that the patients in need of transplanted organs are going to suffer from some form of complication not long after the operation. The patient with the broken finger is stronger, and without a doubt will survive his current injuries. I would choose to save him.

With Qs 1 and 2, do we assume the people on the train all survive no matter what the outcome?
How are the 5 people trapped? Will they be rescued anyway? Or are they near death? what's the individual person like?

Question 1
There is a train careering out of control. You stand in the switch room and can send it either down a track on which 5 people are trapped (killing them all) or down a track on which one person is trapped (killing him). What do you do?
Written by :Mascot
Question 2
There is a train running out of control towards and will kill 5 people trapped on the rails, but you are near a switch and could divert it into a siding. Unfortunately there is someone trapped in the siding and you would kill him by pulling the switch. What do you do?
Written by :Mascot
Question 3
There is a mine cart running out of control down the rails towards 5 people who will all die. In front of the rails a man looks on helplessly, and you realize that you could push him onto the rails and he would stop the mine cart though he himself would die. What do you do?
Written by :Mascot
Question 4
You are a doctor in a hospital, and you have 5 dying patients in desperate need of transplants. Another patient walks into the hospital with a broken finger. After anesthetizing him you realize that this man is blood type O negative and you could harvest his organs and save your 5 dying transplant patients, all of whom would survive with no further complications. What do you do?

3. If the cart is too far away from the 5 that they dont see me then i'd push the guy in front and tell reporters that he selflessly jumped infront of the mine cart to save the 5.
