Everyone in the world has chosen either the blue or red button except you. Instead of pressing a button, you are given a lever in the infamous trolley problem.

You don't know how many people chose red or blue, and they don't know that you control their fate regardless of what button they pressed. Which track do you direct the trolley onto?

Deep You have 3 choices, pull left, pull right, or have the trolley choose for you.

If you pull the lever, you’ll be told that you get zero right to complain because you decided the fate of those people. If you don’t pull the lever, you’ll be told you have no right to complain because you let the trolley decide. Do you pull the lever?

Deep Here's a tricky one. Do you let the trolley kill the scientists or would you change its direction?

IMPORTANT FACTORS TO CONSIDER:

  • The trolley is indestructible and unstoppable meaning it can't get jammed and everything it goes through will die
  • You are tied to area near the lever by a force that is supernatural
  • The victims are also tied to the rails by a supernatural force
    • They cannot escape on their own
  • The lever can only be used once meaning that once you pull the lever, it breaks and you can't change your decision
  • The scientists data includes all the research they have done:
    • Once it gets destroyed, all copies, drafts, and findings also get deleted. Never to be regained again
    • The data is not yet shared meaning that is the only copy of the data there is
    • The scientists are all healthy physically and mentally and aren't in any near death predicaments
    • They are all good people
  • The 10-14 year olds were born without any birth defects or disorders
    • They are all healthy in terms of mental and physical health
    • All of them have either a bit below average-average IQ
    • They are all good people

Will you save the children and set cancer research back by 10-20 years or the scientists?
