• Discussion 9Consider the selection by Mill which
  states that the sole criterion of moral is to
  maximize happiness. Now, consider an instance
  where you are riding a trolley car. The trolley
  car is out of control and up ahead the track
  splits. Assume then there is no doubt that you
  are the only one that can make the following
  choice and then you must in fact do so. On the
  left is a stranger (to you at least) with a bag
  over their head. On the right track are five
  strangers with bags over their head. From the
  perspective of the utilitarian (also referred to
  as consequentialists, as when evaluating moral
  action they evaluate only the consequences) which
  track must you choose? It would have to be the
  track on the left as it would provide the
  greatest amount of happiness to the largest
  possible amount of people. Now consider the same
  scenario where you are still in control of the
  trolley car and you still must in fact make the
  choice.
