Two others die, or three others die? sorta.
Since nobody wants to kill themselves to save others, I thought this might be better. I'm sure some of you have heard this problem asked before.
Three innocent strangers are tied to a train track. There is a train coming their way that cannot be stopped, and it will kill them.
There is a switch 20 feet away(you were just walking and happened upon this situation) which will switch the tracks so that the train will veer away from these three innocent people onto another track. Thank goodness.
OH NO! OMG! You then realize that there are TWO innocent strangers tied to the other track. So you have a decision to make.
Either do nothing, and let the train kill three innocent people. It'll be like you were never there.
OR quickly sprint over to the switch, switch the tracks, and turn the train in the direction of two innocent people.
