Okay, here's one for your Tuesday morning:
You’re on a train, and it’s about to hit five people tied to the tracks. You can pull a lever to switch tracks, but then it’ll hit one person instead. What do you do?
Most people say switch. Now, what if you're on a bridge over the tracks, and you can push a large person onto the tracks to stop the train, saving the five, but killing that one? Same outcome, one dead vs. five. Why does that feel different?
