You are beside two train tracks. One of which has an infant baby on it and the other has two grown men and one woman. The two tracks come from a fork in the original track, and there is a speeding train going down it. You are helpless to stop it and have no way of saving these human beings. You do, however, have a choice. Choose Option A and you switch the tracks for the child to be slaughtered, or Option B, and switch the tracks so that those poor men and women die. Which one is morally correct?
Edit1: So far it seems, as quoted by Talos, "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few".
Edit2: You can't put the track in the middle, nor can the people save themselves. They are tied up.
Edit3: For those trying to break the rules and derail the train, [url=http://youtu.be/2lFKgC-k4Ts]this[/url] is what happens and it kills everyone.
Edit4: If you do nothing then you will be killed by crazed satanists and will be sacrificed to the devil in the most painful and excruciating way.

Edited by LordofArbiters: 7/22/2015 1:05:14 AMOption C: I beg God, the merciful, the divine, and the all knowing to save them both. Or... Option 666: I perform a ritual of sacrifice in which I kill the 3 adults and sacrifice the baby as Satan's puppet.

2 RepliesWait, where is it going if you don't pull the lever?
-
I'd save the 3 people.
-
4 RepliesThe infant is not yet sentient, so saving it over the three people who have lives and families of their own seems silly.
-
People suck. The kid doesnt suck yet True when hes older he will suck But theres one of him or 3 people who already suck. Lesser of 2 evils, kid lives and 3 people die
-
Trick question. The kid grows up to be Hitler, and the adults are child molesting satanists.
-
Is the women sexy?
-
2 RepliesB. The adults lived their lives, the kid hasn't even gotten a chance. It's simple if you ask me.

Throw myself in front of the train before it gets to the switch. Ain't nobody dying on my watch but me.

Classic Trolley Problem. Go for your wife, it'll be less in terms of collateral. If you're lucky, the city will probably give oh some sort of compensation too.
-
I chose option A.
-
Walk away and pretend I was never there. Let fate decide who dies.

8 RepliesNew question: You are a doctor, and a couple men and women are brought in after being in a horrible runaway train accident. They all need a different kind of transplant if they are going to live, however, the hospital doesn't have those exact organs at the ready. But, in the other room is a sedated patient here for a check up. Do you A. Let the injured people died, or B. Kill the healthy guy to save the many injured people?

Try to break the rules and kill everyone.

I save the baby. Why? 1.Less mouths to feed 2. I can raise it 3. People are evil but not that baby yet 4. Seems shady that three would be there, they did something wrong likely
