Extracted text: In the eText (and the video by Dr. Sandel "The Moral Side of Murder"), a thought experiment, called the trolley problem, places you in a scenario in which you must choose whether you should: throw a track switch to save five lives at the price of one life. report a crime on the train when you know it will put your life at risk. accelerate the trolley to be sure it kills everyone on the track so as not to prolong suffering. postpone your trip by trolley because the mishap on the track will delay service.
