I was inspired to create this illustration after listening to the Radiolab podcast episode about the trolly problem.
The trolly problem is a thought experiment involving the ethical dilemma of whether to sacrifice one person to save a larger number. It begins with a scenario in which a runaway tram or trolley is going to collide with and unalive a number of people (traditionally five) down the track, but a driver or bystander can intervene and divert the vehicle to unalive just one person on a different track.
