An interesting thought experiment:

You are standing in front of a train track switch. A train is coming. On one track lie five people who will die if the train goes down that track. On the other lies one person. Currently, the switch is pointed at the track with the five. Do you throw the switch?

Read the article for the answer - especially if you said YES.

    Brilliant thought provoking article. The trolley car is a great metaphor about life and current events. I agree with the authors' conclusion.
