The original trolley problem:
A brakeless trolley nears.
If you don& #39;t act, 5 people will die.
If you change its track by pulling the lever, only 1 will die.
What should you do?

A variation of the trolley problem:
A brakeless trolley nears.
If you don& #39;t act, 5 people will die.
If you push a big man from an overpass, he will die while stopping and saving the 5 on the trolley track.
What should you do?

A variation of the trolley problem:
5 people die if they don& #39;t receive a different vital organ.
1 healthy person enters with all 5 vital organs functioning.
Is it better to save the 5 by killing the 1?

No one is in danger.
You are an ethics teacher.
Should you put people on the trolley tracks in order to keep your job?
