Please read "The Trolley Problem" and self-driving cars; which can be found your CANVAS course shell under module title OER Course Textbooks.. The reading is located within the Textbook called Introduction to Ethics - Levin.

As you may recall we discussed this problem in class - the basic facts are: you have a choice to allow the runaway trolley to continue down its current path which will kill five innocent people OR you may actively switch the path of the runaway trolley thereby killing one innocent person.

Question No. 1 - What is the difference between a consequentialist and a deontologist.

Question No. 2 - In the context of this trolley problem, does "doing nothing" free one of moral responsibility? Why or why not.

Question No. 3 - Do you believe a consequentialist would ALWAYS make the choice to kill one rather than five? Why or why not

Question No. 4 - Do you believe a deontologist would ALWAYS choose to "do nothing" as it is ALWAYS wrong to takes actions that would result in death. Why or why not.
