Proof that I’m immoral

[The Valkyrie]

Just the other day someone put forward to me yet another moral dilemma.

I’m standing at a rail junction and there’s a runaway train coming down the track. On the tracks one way is a stranded carriage filled with babies and their mothers, while down the other is a stranded carriage full of disabled people.

I could only save one.

Which would I choose?

Well, that’s quite the dilemma. I had to think hard about what choice I would make. Finally, though, there was really only one choice.

I stabbed the questioner in the eye and stole his wallet.

I then donated his body (to myself) for medical experimentation.

Boy will the guy at the museum be shocked when he tries to remove the “googly eyes” from that Picasso painting...

Maybe you should hang out with different people.

[energizer bunny]

That's easy. Put the disabled people out of their misery.

But what if you could throw an obese guy (who was just a few steps away from discovering a cheap and renewable source of energy for the whole planet) under the train? Would you stab him first or just kick him down and be done with it?

I proved I'm immoral by starting another thread with the same name.

That is certainly a unique way out of the predicament!

This is why you are merely the sadistic minion and not the malevolent master mind. The mastermind would have found a way to make the runaway train hit both the carriage with the babies and the carriage with the disabled in front of the questioner’s eyes before having his minion stabbing the questioner in the eye, and finish up by selling the minion to the organ harvesters and then walk away with perfect deniability.
