gailfromLA: The Trolley Problem.

During my Psych class all those years ago we were presented with a thought experiment call the "Trolley Problem."

There is a runaway trolly barreling down the rail tracks. Ahead, on the tracks, there are five people tied up and unable to move. The trolley is headed straight for them. You are standing some distance off in the train yard, next to a lever.

If you pull this lever, the trolley will switch to a different set of tracks. However, you notice that there is one person on the side track. You have two options:

1. Do nothing and allow the trolley to kill the five people on the main track.
2. Pull the lever, diverting the trolley onto the side track where it will kill one person.

Which is the more ethical option? Or, more simply: What is the right thing to do?

Doing nothing will let nature runs it's course, You are guilty of nothing. It's a tragedy that five innocent people died, but their fate was written in stars long before you came upon the situation. However, changing the tracks makes you guilty of man slaughter. And that single person was a child.

What would you do?

An impossible question to answer. But here we are, in the age of Corona, being asked to answer that question. Instead of five, millions of lives are at risk. Instead of one, we sacrifice tens of thousands.

In the end, I think the untimate question we'll ask ourselves is "How do you sleep at night?"

koizz1984: Thank you for this, Gail.

Sometimes, many of us, don't stop and think what's at stake -- what HAS been at stake -- because a few can determine the lives of so many. Those few have been making the wrong Trolley decision every step of the way.

gailfromLA: The quality of mercy is not strained.

It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven Upon the place beneath.
It is twice blest...

It blesseth him that gives and him that takes.

'Tis mightiest in the mightiest; it becomes
The thronèd monarch better than his crown.

It is enthronèd in the hearts of kings;

It is an attribute to God Himself;

W. Shakespeare
