During the Thomistic Institute's summer Veritas conference, Fr. Ambrose Little, O.P., recorded a live episode of Big Questions, Little Answers!
In this clip from the episode, Fr. Little explores how St. Thomas would approach The Trolley Problem.
Simply put, The Trolley Problem is a thought experiment that revolves around a person faced with a choice: do nothing as a train continues on its course and hits five people in its path, or change the direction of the train onto another track so that it only hits one.
If you would like to hear Fr. Little's thoughts on the matter, you can watch the whole video on our new Aquinas 101 learning platform!
