May one turn a trolley away from five people though it kills someone else instead? May one topple an innocent bystander in front of the trolley to save five others? How should one decide? The Trolley Problem Mysteries considers whether who turns the trolley and/or how it is turned (or otherwise stopped) affect the moral permissibility of acting and suggests general proposals for when we may and may not harm some people to help others. Three commentaries and responses to them further discuss these proposals and the use of hypothetical cases in moral philosophy.
