There has been a fire and the train driver has left the engine room!

They can not stop the train!

•Will you turn the train to the left and kill one man?•Or leave it on the right and kill three?

Talking Philosophy•Would you turn the train or leave it on the same track?•If you turn the train, shouldn’t you kill the hostage and kill Davide?•Isn’t “The right thing to do” the same in every situation?

Immanuel Kant
"Act only according to that maxim whereby you can at the same time will that it should become a universal law.“
You should always do “the right thing to do” in every single situation. It should always be the same.
