Should You Kill the Fat Man?

Preliminary Questions

This activity is a treatment of some of the issues thrown up by a
thought experiment called 'The Trolley Problem', which was first
outlined by the philosopher Philippa Foot, and then developed by
Judith Jarvis Thomson and others. But before we start properly, we
need to ask you four preliminary questions so we get a sense of the
way that you think about morality. There are no right or wrong
answers. Just select the option that most corresponds to your view.

Question 1: Torture, as a matter of principle, is always morally
wrong.

Really Deep Thought

Who were the fools who spread the story that brute force cannot kill
ideas? Nothing is easier. And once they are dead they are no more
than corpses.
   --Simone Weil.
