How do you apply the Doctrine of Double Effect to the trolley problem?

Social Studies
1 answer:
Alex73 [517]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: Throwing someone into the tracks of an out of control trolley to stop it from running over five people would be wrong because it would require intentionally harming one person to save five. On the other hand, diverting the runaway trolley onto a path where one person will be killed, instead of five, would be admissible, as we may foresee that one death as an unintantional side effect.

Explanation:

The Doctrine of Double Effect, developed by St. Thomas Aquinas, allows us to better understand why we find it unacceptable to push a man onto the tracks: the good result must be a consequence of the action taken, not of the bad effect, so pulling the switch is better than pushing the man onto the tracks.

trasher [3.6K]

The correct answer would be, death is a terrifying topic that even adults can't discuss.

Abigail who has heard adults talking about the death, senses that her mother is avoiding the topic and has come to the conclusion that death is a terrifying topic that even adults can't discuss.

Explanation:

People usually avoid discussing topics like deaths in front of children. This is because incidents like deaths leave deep footprints on the mind of children and they might get horrified due to the discussion upon this topic, so parents usually avoid discussing deaths.

The same did Abigail's parents. They did not tell him clearly that his grandfather is dead, rather they told him that his grandfather is no more, while leaving house for the funeral and leaving him home with the babysitter. So Abigail concluded that death is such a terrifying topic that even adults can't discuss it.
