WOULD YOU KILL? ASK THE LADIES WHO LUNCH

A while ago, it must have been late at night while watching TV, I saw a psychological experiment about human behavior, (of course.) The scenario was 5 railroad workers on 1 track, 1 worker on another track. A high speed train is bearing down on the 5 workers, bringing certain death to all, with no chance for them to escape. The question posed was would you pull a switch to divert the train from that track to the track with the single worker. Most of the subjects asked would do so. Part 2 set the same scenario with a stocky man looking over a railroad trestle. Pushing him off the bridge would also divert the train, saving 5 lives at the expense of 2 lives, the worker and the pushee. Most of the subjects asked would not push the man. There is so much potential for discussion of individual responsibility, avoidance issues, etc., that I posed this question to "The Girls" I lunch with on a semi-regular basis. Subject A pretty much went with the same behavior as the test group. Subject B refused to consider the question. She considered it not right and would not allow even her hypothetical self to contemplate making any kind of decision. Subject C said she could not answer unless she knew the identity of the 6 or 7 subjects, because 1 of them could have been Jesus. So am I to infer that I am not lunching with ordinary people or that they don't trust me enough to role-play? And what are we going to talk about at the next luncheon, if they invite me?
