Would You Kill 1 Person To Save 5? (The Hard Truth)

Описание: Would You Kill 1 Person To Save 5? (The Hard Truth)

Suppose you are the driver of a trolley car hurtling down the track at sixty miles an hour. Your brakes fail. Ahead of you are five workers who will die if you continue. To your right is a side track with only one worker.

Do you turn the wheel?.

In this video, we explore the foundations of moral reasoning through the lens of the famous "Trolley Problem" and the chilling real-life case of the yacht Mignonette. These scenarios force us to decide between two competing moral frameworks: Consequentialist reasoning (locating morality in the results) and Categorical reasoning (locating morality in absolute duties).

We analyze why the majority of people would turn the trolley but refuse to push a bystander off a bridge to achieve the exact same result.

In this video, we cover:

The Trolley Problem: Would you sacrifice one life to save five?.

The Fat Man Variant: Why pushing someone feels different than pulling a lever.

The Doctor's Dilemma: Harvesting organs from one healthy patient to save five.

The Cannibalism Case: The true story of Dudley and Stephens and the ethics of survival at sea.

Bentham vs. Kant: Utilitarianism vs. Categorical Moral Duties.
