The Trolley Problem in Real Life

Vsauce's Michael Stevens stages a realistic version of the trolley problem with unsuspecting subjects who believe they must decide a life-or-death outcome. The Mind Field episode compares what people say they would do with what they actually do.

Recommended as a worthwhile real-world experiment whenever trolley problems or moral dilemmas come up.
