There is a trolley speeding down the road, which is going to run over 5 passers-by. You could pull a lever, diverting the trolley, but causing it to hit one person standing on the currently unused track. What would you do?
You find a valuable watch lying by the side of the road. It looks like it’s been there for quite some time. What would you do?
You are in charge of a hospital with limited beds, and you have to decide which patients get care and which patients get turned away. What would you do?
