    Huh, every time I hear about the trolley problem it’s always “now imagine that instead of pulling the lever, you need to push someone onto the track so the trolley stops after that first collision.” Some people would pull the lever but not push someone onto the tracks, and that’s where it gets interesting.

        And if you can push someone, you could use your own body too. Maybe the scenarios word around that (you have to push somebody and hold the lever, for example).

        I imagine the nightmares from pushing a person would be worse than those from pulling a lever.
