Alzward drew this brutally amusing comic about The Trolley Problem. If you don’t know, the trolley problem is a classic ethical dilemma used in moral philosophy and ethics to explore the decision-making process when faced with difficult choices. The basic scenario involves a runaway trolley heading down a track where it will kill five people if it continues on its current path. You are standing next to a lever that can divert the trolley onto another track, where it will kill one person instead. The central question is: should you pull the lever, thereby actively causing one person to die but saving five others?
