What trolley?

Anything off the trolley, dears?

The explorer pushed his way through the trackless mountain region.

And trackless region, though on every side Assaulted by voracious enemies,

No? Stop that and push the trolley.

These were played in the local trolley system.

Go and look to see whether there's a trolley on the tracks.

Let's take a poll, how many would turn the trolley car onto the side track?

This time you're not the driver of the trolley car, you're an onlooker standing on a bridge overlooking a trolley car track and down the track comes a trolley car at the end of the track are five workers the brakes don't work the trolley car is about to careen into the five and kill them and now you're not the driver you really feel helpless until you notice standing next to you

The trolley car is a runway, thing and you need to make in a split second choice whereas pushing the fat man over is an actual act of murder on your part you have control over that whereas you may not have control over the trolley car.

Once a day, the library on wheels would be pushed around by a pair of axe murdering twins, that had pushed the trolley for 22 years.

Let's consider another trolley car case and see whether those of you in the majority want to adhere to the principle, better that one should die so that five should live.

And you could give him a shove he would fall over the bridge onto the track right in the way of the trolley car he would die but he would spare the five.

This is a course about Justice and we begin with a story suppose you're the driver of a trolley car, and your trolley car is hurdling down the track at sixty miles an hour and at the end of the track you notice five workers working on the track you tried to stop but you can't your brakes don't work you feel desperate because you know that if you crash into these five workers they will all die

The first thing we did was we took a little bicycle mirror and we Band Aided it here, onto a gurney, a hospital trolley, so that when you were wheeled around by a nurse or by a doctor, you could actually have a conversation with them.

Well I guess in the first case where you have the one worker and the five it's a choice between those two, and you have to make a certain choice and people are going to die because of the trolley car not necessarily because of your direct actions.

let's assume you know that for sure and so you feel helpless until you notice that there is off to the right a side track at the end of that track there's one worker working on track you're steering wheel works so you can turn the trolley car if you want to onto this side track killing the one but sparing the five.

Last time we started out last time with some stores with some moral dilemmas about trolley cars and about doctors and healthy patients vulnerable to being victims of organ transplantation we noticed two things about the arguments we had one had to do with the way we were arguing it began with our judgments in particular cases we tried to articulate the reasons or the principles

This time your doctor in an emergency room and six patients come to you they've been in a terrible trolley car wreck five of them sustained moderate injuries one is severely injured you could spend all day caring for the one severely injured victim, but in that time the five would die, or you could look after the five, restore them to health, but during that time the one severely injured person would die.
