Double effect, triple effect and the trolley problem: squaring the circle in looping cases
Utilitas 20 (1):92-110 (2008)
Abstract
In the Trolley Case (Figure 1), as devised by Philippa Foot and modified by Judith Jarvis Thomson, a runaway trolley (i.e. tram) is headed down a main track and will hit and kill five unless you divert it onto a side track, where it will hit and kill one.Author's Profile
