Trolley Problem and its variations explore the way humans formulate ethical emotions. The main reason it's very interesting, to me, is the difficulty involved in explaining why most people would make a particular decision under subtly different situations.

Here is the link to trolley problem and some variations, from wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trolley_problem

What would you do in each of these situations? How are these situations different from one another?
