deontological ethics. This experiment talks about a trolley steering down the railway trajectories,
and five persons are assumed snarled up and incapable of moving as the trolley is navigates
straightforward in their direction. Tied on two options of pulling the lever to dissuade the trolley
onto the adjacent track where there’s one individual in danger of failing to jerk the lever,
consequently sanctioning the trolley to slaughter the five individuals are among the elucidations
to the problem.
In this variation where I’m brought into being in a dilemma to decide between either pulling
the lever or not in a startlingly catastrophic scenario, I would choose to pull the lever. With the
mind of a utilitarian, my decision will not only be permissible but morally a better option. Being
present at the scene as the railway’s switchman, since moral wrongs are in place based on the
assumptions like pushing a fat man crossing the bridge above the railway tracks to stop the trolley
and save the five lives is also immoral (Gold, N., Pulford, B. D., & Colman, 2013). Thus,
sacrificing one partially to save a life in this situation and influencing the outcome brings an aspect
of participation, and deciding not to take any action would also be considered immoral. With these
kinds of aspects, since the moral wrongs already exist, then it would be logical, pulling the lever
to expense one life in favor of five lives.
