The Moral Trolley Problem

The Moral Trolley Problem is a thought experiment in ethics where you must choose between two difficult actions. Imagine a trolley heading toward five people tied to a track. You can pull a lever to divert the trolley onto another track, where it will hit one person instead. The dilemma poses questions about the value of individual lives, the ethics of action versus inaction, and whether it's right to sacrifice one person to save many. It illustrates the complexities of moral decision-making and challenges our intuitions about right and wrong in life-and-death situations.
