Would you kill the fat man? [sound recording] : the trolley problem and what your answer tells us about right and wrong
Edmonds, David, 1964-2014
Audiobooks
A runaway train is racing toward five men who are tied to the track. Unless the train is stopped, it will inevitably kill all five men. You are standing on a footbridge looking down on the unfolding disaster. However, a fat man, a stranger, is standing next to you: If you push him off the bridge, he will topple onto the line and, although he will die, his chunky body will stop the train, saving five lives. Would you kill the fat man? David Edmonds tells the story of why and how philosophers have struggled with this ethical dilemma, providing an informative tour through the history of moral philosophy.
