Pro
1.
Death
is inevitable, so just save the most people
2.
You are
responsible for killing someone either way.
3.
Good
of the many outweighs the good of the few.
4.
Better for society to save the most people.
5.
You don’t know anything about the people, so the
best bet for saving the most value for society is to save more people.
Con
1.
If
you kill the one person it is on your conscious, but it is just a freak occurrence
if you do nothing.
2.
The
ends do not justify the means.
3.
Wouldn’t
pull the lever because people tend toward inaction when there is not sufficient
time to decide.
4.
It
doesn’t matter what you do because either way you are still killing someone.
5.
There
is no absolute morality so it can’t be said to be moral or immoral to engage in
either option.
6.
Its
manslaughter to kill one person, but you aren’t culpable if you do nothing.
