The Trolley Problem is described as follows:
- Trolley is rolling down the track
- The driver encounter several people on an upcoming track
- If he does nothing, several people will die
- If he pulls the lever, he will be routed to a alternative track where one person will die
- The example is a thought exercise, in which various ethical systems can be applied to resolve the matter, but there is no one ideal right answer
- Utilitarian ethics dictates the greatest good for the greatest number, so that one person may die for the greater good
- Deontological ethics or "duty ethics" states one life is as precious as that of a group of people. You must not treat a person as a "means to an end" but an "end in itself". You must not create one problem to solve another.
