Discussion 2: Decision-making dilemma: killing one to save five? 

Description

This discussion is about the Decision-making dilemma.

Sometimes, making decisions is pretty easy. You don’t even realize that you are making decisions.  For example, “Trust your gut: Intuitive decision-making based on expertise ...”

However, in some case, making decisions are very difficult, particularly when it comes to human lives. Some philosophers worked extremely hard on the dilemma.

Here, I introduce a classic case of the decision-making dilemma: the trolley problem. You will be required to make discussion posts about this case.
