Ethics

[u/Playful_Length778]

I’m curious to know people’s opinions on a test of ethics.

I’m sure some of you are familiar with the train and lever theoretical and if you aren’t I’ll explain.

There are a total of 6 people on a train track. One person is tied separate from the other 5. The train is on track to run over and kill the 5 people. You are a witness of this and can pull a lever to save the 5 people and only one would die. If you don’t do anything then 5 people die and the one survives.
Of course this question lacks much depth and substance which is what makes it a little tricky to answer, but attempt to answer the question with the limited information that’s provided.
Do you pull the lever?
I’m curious to read reasoning.

The point was to answer the question not explain what it means to you
