If I was driving this out of control train, I would chose to move to the side track and hit the one person there. This is a really big moral dilemma for me, especially since I am horrible at making decisions in a short amount of time. I think that as I moved to that track though, I would make my best effort in screaming at the person and attempting to slow down the train in anyway that I could. In reality, the choice matters enormously, because I don’t know what kind of people that are standing on the track. For all I know the one person could be a priest and the five people could all be escaped from jail. In the end though, I would choose to switch to the side track, because technically one life is fewer than five lives, so more lives would be saved through my decision.
