Leave it as is View Results There's a switch you can pull to divert the rail car from their path and thereby save them. But, doing so would kill one person stuck on the other track. Would you pull the switch, divert the rail car and save the five people, but kill the one on the other track, or just do nothing, not intervene? Remember, diverting the car kind of makes you a murderer. <cite>Cocytus posted [p:893649539] in 5 people a...
