utilitarianism question ( Moral question no. 2)

[Commander sushi]

You are in a scenario where a train is coming to a train switch.
on the left are 2 children, and on the right, are 6 middle aged
parents. click on the poll to choose what you think is best.
( dont make up some dumb thing like untie them both at the
same time please thanks.









READ THIS ONCE YOU HAVE DONE THE POLL OR DO
NOT WANT TO DO IT:
utilitarianism means to save the most people, in any situation.
even if there are 5 babies and 10 prisoners
utilitarianism makes you choose the option when you
save more lives. So, did you get it right?

You know when you see a train coming a couple thousand yards away, and you see a couple, having a picnic on the träcks...
and you're just out of earshot so you can't warn them... and they're both deaf and blind.. yeah... it's A BIT LIKE THAT
