Hey guys, I just read part of a magazine called Time. (anybody read that thing?) And I decided to ask you guys some questions. Answer the poll, and don't forget: its multiple choice.
1)
You are on a lift raft after your boat sunk. Yours is dangerously overloaded with people. In order for everyone to survive, one person MUST be thrown into the ocean. There just happens to be a man who is sick, and porprablyu won't make it anyways. Will you throw him into the ocean? (Note: Only you can push people off the life raft. Others can't)
Yes-I will throw him down the ocean.
No-I will not.
2)
Suppose you work at a construction place. 3-5 unsuspecting people are at point A. A baby and a child are on point B. A runaway trolley is going to point A. You cannot warn the people in time. You have the ability to divert the trolley to point B. Althought the casualties will be less...will you do it?
Yeah
No, they are children!
3)
Suppose that you are hiding n the bsement with 5 other refugees. Outside are bad Nazi people. You are holding a baby. The baby starts crying, and you can't stop him. Your only choices are to kill him or have all of the 7 refugees (including you and the baby) die. What will you do? Kill the baby?
Yup.
No.
Also, suppose the baby was yours. Would you kill the baby?
It's much easier to actually say yes, but in real life situation, it's much differant.
I picked yes all.
