The Fat Man
As before, a trolley is hurtling down a track towards five people. You are on a bridge under which it will pass, and you can stop it by putting something very heavy in front of it. As it happens, there is a very fat man next to you – your only way to stop the trolley is to push him over the bridge and onto the track, killing him to save five. Should you proceed?
If you choose not to push the fat man, then under utilitarian thinking his life is more valueable than the 5 lives that otherwise would have been saved.

Tough crowd.
