A group of children were playing near two railway tracks, one still in use while the other disused.
Only one child played on the disused track, the rest played on the operational track.

The train is coming, and you are just beside the track interchange.

You can make the train change its course to the disused track and save most of the kids.

However, that would also mean the lone child playing by the disused track would be sacrificed.

Or would you rather let the train go its way?

























Most people might choose to divert the course of the train, and sacrifice only one child.
You might think the same way, I guess.
Exactly, I thought the same way initially because to save most of the children
at the expense of only one child was rational decision most people would make, morally and emotionally.

But, have you ever thought that the child choosing to play on the disused track
had in fact made the right decision to play at a safe place?

Also the disused track is disused for some reason.
By diverting the course, you might be putting many more lives in danger.
