This has always been my option. Derail the train, if there is a moral choice it is to do everything you can to stop the trolley and failing that is the only guiltless choice.
If you tried a third option over the two choices given then you can't feel guilty if the third option doesn't work.
i like this opinion "well, your honor. I wanted to fuck around and find out, and i found out."
If I was forced to chose between one life or five lives, I chose the possibility of property damage.
Edit: I added the word If, which I missed originally.
well, to be clear, you weren't forced to choose, you were presented with an option to make a choice, you could've just left it alone.
Oops I missed the word If at the beginning of my comment.
I shall fix it, I guess derailing the train is the fourth option, standing by and doing nothing is the third option.
Who is forcing you? Now im even more fucking confused? What kind of trolley problem is this.
"if you were standing at the rail switch of a trolly heading towards 4 people, and flipping the switch would divert it killing 1 person. But there was a person behind you holding a gun to your head, telling you to switch it, would you switch it?"
Hack into the trolley controls the day before, got it.
Derailing the trolley kills the 10 passengers aboard
As passengers their families would be given insurance payouts by the train company so that would be fine.
