What is currently commonly known as “the Trolley Problem” is
an old chestnut in moral philosophy.
History and variants here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trolley_problem
In today’s superheated psychosocial climate, a new variant
has arisen:
A child is lying unconscious across the trolley track. Donald Trump is standing nearby,
oblivious, thinking about his ratings.
A trolley is rapidly bearing down on the scene. You only have time to do one
of two things:
(a) Pull the child off the track to safety
(b) Push Trump in front of the trolley
Which do you do?
