>not pulling the lever to make the train run over the five people, so you can watch body parts and blood fly everywhere

That's like choosing between a B&W TV from 1956 and an OLED 85" megabeast television from yesterday.

Go with the five. ALWAYS go with the five.

So what's the dilemma in the original 1 v 5 picture?

Correct answer would be to save 5 and kill 1. But if you do that, those 5 people will be very thankful and move on with their life. However if you choose to save the one, he will likely be your best friend for the rest of your life, knowing that you sacrificed 5 lives for his.

Is that what it is?
>>
>>81056793
The dilemma is that doing nothing will result in five people dying, while you have to pull the lever to kill the one, thereby actively murdering him
>>
>>81056793
Original is the trolley heading towards five people, you can pull the level so it heads towards one person instead.
Sometimes that one person is said to a loved one, although it's not a requirement.

Silence by Martin Scorsese is a good one. A priest is tested how much he actually values his faith in God in the face of horrors in the form of Japanese Christians' violent persecution.
>>
>>81056793
Our society is currently built on letting the 5 people die, at least on the surface.

Put it this way to make the problem more believable. You're a doctor and five of your patients are dying. You can kill one other relatively healthy patient to save them, would you do it?
