            gollark: Anyway! "Consequentialism" basically says "do whatever produces the best eventual outcome (by some metric)", so a consequentialist would probably say "well, 1 people dying is better than 5, so divert the trolley".
            gollark: How ethical.
            gollark: Do you do so?
            gollark: You can throw a switch to make it go onto another track where it will only run over 1 person.
            gollark: Basically, a runaway trolley is heading down a track where it will run over 5 people.
