I am in favour of the rights of the individual but this is intuitive rather than logical. So its not objectively morally right.

I might well sacrifice my own life to save 6 others in another scenario. Either Sam Harris or Michael Shermer looks at this.

As a variation of the trolley experiment. Shows it to be a brain bug of ours. We'd be more logical in saving other things.

it's not a bug. 6 random strangers are unlikely to carry your same genes.

In the trolley dilemma, they are all strangers. Save one or five? Most wld save 5 in trolley case but 1 in organ case.Logical? No

voluntary yes. Also, very rare.

Or if I had their fate in my hands. Think trolley dilemma or perhaps being in charge of soldiers. Sacrifice one for the rest?

I don't think the trolley problem is realistic and war is a moral failure to begin with.

Its a thought experiment to show that our moral instincts are not logical. It is but it happens & ppl have to choose.

Fun thing is, I solve that problem with maths, lol.
