Danny McNamee- Flip the switch(Pro)
Andrew Elston- Scribe/ Mediator
Fight Club
Pros- Less people would die, the inevitable will happen
- why is it matter who is to blame in reality you're actually saving 4 people
-The train is coming any way so you cant blame the person who flips the switch either way
-It's the logical thing to do, save more lives
-90 % of people would reverse the car to kill the one person rather than do nothing with the 5
- If you do nothing you are responsible for the lives of the 5 people that you killed rather than just the 1
-The mans organs in the hospital are worth the lives of 5 other people
-Overall if death is morally right its better to kill the one rather than the 5
Cons
-a culture that sacrifices its own don't last as long
-it breaks religious commandment of thall shall not kill
- if you pull the lever you yourself are solely responsible for killing that person, but in essence if you let the 5 people die you are just a bystander.
-in the same 90% article most people when faced with the actual circumstances chicken out in the end much like a solider in war
- instead of killing the fat man try and get the fat person to yell with you to get the workers to move than you can save all your lives.
-example with the movie the dark nigh and the boat scenario
-in the end people do the right thing
Pro
- it doesn't matter who kills a person, if you save more people than you're a hero
Con
- but if you pull the switch by definition you are committing man slaughter
Pro
-(no response and admits defeat)
