I was listening to the radio Wednesday and was presented with one of those "what would you do" moments. Here's the scenario....
You work in a train yard and a train full of 200 passengers is coming your way. Your 9 year old child is coming out to see you and gets their foot tightly stuck in the tracks. You have to act quickly. You can do one of 2 things. You have time to divert the train to a dead end section of unused track and save your child. Problem is this unused track ends and all of the passengers will be killed. OR, you can let the train continue on and all of the passengers will live. Of course one person will die; your child.... What do you do? Save one and let 200 die or save the crowd and let the one die?
