this is 100% dependent on several factors like whether I personally know any of them, what age group they’re in, etc. it’s too vague of a hypothetical for me to confidently answer

Pull the lever and kill one .. it’s the lesser of two evils, if you don’t pull the lever you’re still at fault just by omission ..

the tricky part abt the trolley problem is that either way, in some capacity, you are responsible for the ones who die and the ones who don't. even if you don't touch the lever, that's making a conscious decision not to interfere and therefore preventing the one person from being saved. i know the whole point of the trolley problem is to ask if one person's life could be valued over anyone else's but i don't think of it that way, to me it's more about the consciousness of your choices and the differences between being a bystander and interfering, which in this particular case, are not vastly different. in the end there's no right answer but as for me personally i thjnk i wouldn't be able to bring myself to pull the lever but either way i would still have the same amount of blood on my hands

I think the obvious answer would be to pull the lever and save 5 people. I feel like doing nothing would ultimately make you responsible for killing 5 people anyway, so if you’re going to be responsible in either situation you might as well do whatever harms less people.
