The Footbridge Problem and Moral Decision-Making

A discussion on the footbridge problem, a variation of the trolley problem, where throwing one person onto train tracks could save a larger group. The chapter explores the moral decision-making differences between liberals and conservatives, with liberals more inclined to sacrifice a white person to save black people, while conservatives believed it was morally impermissible. It also delves into the idea of alleviating oppression as an independent moral obligation for liberals.
