Footbridge Variant
Push a stranger off a bridge to stop the trolley.
Scenario
A runaway trolley is hurtling down a track toward five people who will be killed if it continues. You are standing on a footbridge above the track, next to a large stranger. The only way to stop the trolley is to push the stranger off the bridge onto the track below. Their body will stop the trolley, killing them but saving the five. You did not put any of these people on the tracks; you have no other options.
Question
Will you push the stranger off the bridge?
