There is a runaway trolley barrelling down the railway tracks. Ahead, on the tracks, there are five people tied up and unable to move. The trolley is headed straight for them. You are standing some distance off in the train yard, next to a lever.
If you pull this lever, the trolley will switch to a different set of tracks. Unfortunately, you notice that there is one person on the side track. You have two options: (1) Do nothing, and the trolley kills the five people on the main track. (2) Pull the lever, diverting the trolley onto the side track where it will kill one person. Which is the correct choice? |

| You could either leave it and let 6 people die or kill 1 person purposely to save 6 |

Kill the one. Publicly whip and humiliate the idiots on the track for being idiots, then have a firing squad to kill them publicly, and hang their bodies on the platform signs as a sign not to be stupid and go on train tracks. Well, that's what happens in my unofficial independent empire of Imperial Drillaria |

| Jump off the train before anything happens so that the liberal media doesn't go after you shouting "Murderer! Murderer!" and try to use it as some propaganda against anyone who doesn't share their views. |
