Excellent choice of contest content!

1. I would definitely flip the switch to save the five over the one. I feel the numbers play a significant factor with this decision and it would be hard to argue against the one being saved over the five.

2. Even though it may be more of a traumatic decision to the mind and emotions, I would still flip the switch to save the five adults over one child. You may be sacrificing the next Einstein, but you may be killing the next Hitler as well. The numbers still sway me in this situation.

3. I just don't feel I could sacrifice a friend with all of the unknown variables still out of reach. As far as the evil person, even though it may be tempting and I would lean towards giving the evil person to the fate and throwing him on the tracks, you do not know if you are saving someone who may be much more evil and destructive than the evil person you sacrificed. That's a hard one.

4. Depending on what the ethical conditions and parameters were, I would consider buying a car that would sacrifice me for the good of others. Especially if it were overwhelming numbers as in question one and two.

5. As powerful as the will to live and the insticnt of self-preservation is, I just don't think I could sleep at night or live with myself if I were to purchase this type of vehicle. Who is to say that I am more worthy than anyone out there? We are all sinners and saints wrapped up in a fleshy garment and we have all fallen short of the glory of God.

Thanks for hosting such an interesting contest!
