A MORAL DILEMMA: WTF would you do?
Imagine waking up in a locked room with three strangers.
All three are innocent people of the same age and gender. You know nothing about their backgrounds, families, or personal lives. None has done anything wrong, and none is more deserving of life than the others.
Behind reinforced glass sits a masked individual who controls the room.
You are informed that the three strangers are wearing remotely controlled lethal devices. The individual demonstrates complete control over the devices and gives you an ultimatum.
A gun containing one bullet is placed in front of you.
You have exactly 60 seconds to make a decision.
Your choices:
A. Take the gun and kill one of the three strangers. The remaining two will immediately be released unharmed.
B. Refuse to kill anyone. When the timer reaches zero, all three strangers will be killed.
The room is sealed. You cannot reach the individual controlling the devices. There is no way to disable them, escape, negotiate, or sacrifice yourself in their place.
You cannot ask the strangers to choose. The decision has been placed entirely on you.
For the purpose of this thought experiment, these outcomes are guaranteed. There is no third option.
What would you choose, A or B, and why?
@JuliaMillevvzi No its not! The muslims and blacks will beat you and the jews will screw you out of your hard earned money!! The government wont protect you and they will imprison you for being racist even when you are not being racist.
