What would you do? We jump straight into some of the wildest ethical dilemmas ever—starting with the classic trolley problem. Would you sacrifice one person to save five? Most people say yes… until the situation gets a little more personal. We break down a few different scenarios (including the infamous “bridge” version and some pretty intense medical cases) to see how our instincts shift—and why. Then things get real. We look at the true story behind R v Dudley and Stephens, where shipwrecked sailors made an unthinkable decision to survive. It raises some heavy questions: Does survival justify anything? Can necessity excuse murder? What role does consent actually play? Along the way, we introduce some big philosophical ideas without making it feel like a textbook: Utilitarian thinking (maximizing outcomes), tied to Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill Moral rules and duties, especially from Immanuel Kant This course is all about wrestling with tough questions: Why do some actions just feel wrong, even if they lead to better outcomes? Are there lines we should never cross? Or is morality all about the bigger picture?
