should you kill the fat man?

A moral dilemma, four different ways

This experiment draws on the trolley problem literature — Philippa Foot's original driver case, and the bystander, footbridge, and saboteur variants developed by Judith Jarvis Thomson. Before the scenarios, four short questions about how you think morality works in general.

There are no right answers here. What matters is whether your answers to the scenarios actually follow from the principles you say you hold.
