Week 1
Discussion
Read the Following and Carefully Respond:
Watch the "Trolley
Problem" provided in the week 1 readings and resources section and respond to the
following:
·
o
§ Is pulling the switch
and diverting the train the right thing to do? Why or why not?
§ Is pushing the man off
the bridge the right thing to do? Why or why not?
§ Remember, you are not
being asked if YOU would have the guts to pull the switch/or push off the man
off the bridge, but you are being asked if choosing one of the options would be
the right thing to do.
§ If you answered
"yes" to one case and "no" to the other, then what is the
relevant moral difference between the cases?
§ Would your answer change
if you knew the individuals on the track or the man standing on the bridge?
