Trains

Choices.

1. I would let the train run over 4 people. Wisdom from a 15 year old today.If you don't do anything, they can hardly blame you. And those 4 people are dumb fucks.
Would you really watch a train come, and then allow it to hit you?
Oh look, Bob! A train! Let's just keep working. It will totally hit us, but we need to work. Our contract states that we need to risk our lives to fix railway tracks. Yus.

2. I would totally let that train run over my mother. I think she would be proud of herself if she knew that she saved 4 people. She would also be extremely pissed at me for pulling the lever, but by then, that hardly matters anymore.
But in all seriousness. Utilitarianism for the win.

3.  I would also shove that fat guy off the bridge to stop the train from running over four people. Yes. This totally contradicts my first choice. But once again. Wisdom from a 15 year old.
Wouldn't it be... quite fun to shove that obese kid off a bridge? Society doesn't need someone that fat anyway. And I think, instead of putting me in jail, they'll give me a title of justice, exterminating the obese in return for quadruple healthy lives. Utilitarianism. For. The. Win.

It is quite interesting how most little kids love their mothers, and are not afraid to kill fat men to save lives.
I applaud them.
