Ethical issue:The famous Trolley problem-Why does it seem permissible or even obligatory to kill one track worker to save five others by redirecting a runaway trolley but grossly wrong to execute an innocent person to save five hostages from a violent mob? The trolley problem originated in a 1967 essay by the British philosopher Philippa Foot, who used it in constructing a partial defense of the doctrine of double effect and of her thesis that positive duties (duties to perform a certain action) are intuitively less important than negative duties (duties not to perform a certain action). The trolley problem is important because versions of it have been used to explore the validity and range of application of the doctrine of double effect and the distinction between doing harm and allowing harm. It has also been used to clarify the limitations of both deontological (rule-based) and consequentialist (e.g., utilitarian) approaches in applied ethics.
