THE MORAL SIDE OF MURDER
This is a course about justice
and we begin with a story.
Suppose you're the driver
of a trolley car,
and your trolley car
is hurtling down the track
at 60 miles an hour.
And at the end of the track
you notice five workers
working on the track.
You try to stop
but you can't,
your brakes don't work.
You feel desperate
because you know
that if you crash
into these five workers,
they will all die.
Let's assume
you know that for sure.
And so you feel helpless
until you notice
that there is,
off to the right,
a side track and at the end
of that track,
there is one worker
working on the track.
Your steering wheel works,
so you can turn the trolley car,
if you want to,
onto the side track
killing the one but sparing the five.
Here's our first question:
what's the right thing to do?
What would you do?
Let's take a poll.
How many would turn
the trolley car
onto the side track?
Raise your hands.
How many wouldn't?
How many would go straight ahead?
Keep your hands up those of you
who would go straight ahead.
A handful of people would,
the vast majority would turn.
Let's hear first,
now we need to begin
to investigate the reasons
why you think
it's the right thing to do.
Let's begin with those in the majority
who would turn to go
onto the side track.
Why would you do it?
What would be your reason?
Who's willing to volunteer a reason?
Go ahead. Stand up.
Because it can't be right
to kill five people
when you can only
kill one person instead.
It wouldn't be right
to kill five if you could kill
one person instead.
That's a good reason.
That's a good reason.
Who else?
Does everybody agree
with that reason? Go ahead.
Well I was thinking it's the same reason
on 9/11 with regard
to the people who flew the plane
into the Pennsylvania field
as heroes because they chose
to kill the people on the plane
and not kill more people
in big buildings.
So the principle there
was the same on 9/11.
It's a tragic circumstance
but better to kill one
so that five can live,
is
