Happy #trolleyday!

Today's the birthday of Philippa Foot, the mother of one of the best known ethical dilemmas of our time: the 'trolley problem'. The original trolley problem:

A brakeless trolley nears.
If you don't act, 5 people will die.
If you change its track by pulling the lever, only 1 will die.
What will you do?

MEGA TROLLEY THREAD

The original trolley problem:

A brakeless trolley nears.

If you don't act, 5 workers (who cannot hear the trolley coming) will die.

If you change its track by pulling a lever, only 1 worker will die and the 5 workers will live.

What should you do? A variation of the trolley problem:

A brakeless trolley nears.

If you don't act, 5 workers will die.

If you push a big man from an overpass, he will die while stopping and saving the 5 workers on the trolley track.

What should you do?
