If five people were strapped to a railroad track and the only way to save them is sacrifice yourself to pull a lever to redirect the train would you do it? Five innocent people live but you die?

Because I am the age I am and my kids are grown I would save them.
-
without a single doubt I would lay down my life to save even one other.
-
I'd have to be there and under the real pressure to find out if I had the right stuff. I would hope so. BTW- where are you going to find 5 "innocent" people? Until you do, I feel fairly safe!
-
I would save them!
-
Without hesitation. I couldnt live with myself knowing I had let five people die anyway.
-
I'm going to be honest and say I don't think I would save them.
-
Ok, who are the 5 people? If they're all BushCo, the answer is hell no! And, it should be noted that I'd be hero for not throwing the switch
-
i wouldn't, im 14 and i still have my whole life ahead of me. but i would feel like shit after.
-
Depends on who they were. If they were the many @$$holes that cursed at me today on the road, then no.
-
I would like to think I would, but who knows until it happens unless it was my nearest and dearest then I would without a doubt :o)
-
I would like to believe I'd save them, but who's knows what would happen in the moment when I have only a short time to decide.
-
no- i would not save them- at least i hope i wouldnt
-
If I dont know those people, absolutely no.
-
Sorry. They all die.
-
It would probably be a spur of the moment decision. I don't think I'd do it. I'd like to believe I would but I highly doubt it, but who knows there might not be much time to decide and I might find myself there pulling the damn lever. On the other hand if I knew any of the 5 people, ig a good friend or someone I really cared for I'd probably wouldn't think twice. But 5 strangers? I wish I could say I was that heroic.
-
Nope! Anybody tied to railroad tracks were probably up to no good. Probably owed someone some money or something else illegal and why throw away your own one good life for something like that??
-
it would have to be more then 5 unless it was my family
