Chapter 88 The Trolley Problem?
Jiang Chen's words immediately sparked discussion among viewers in the live stream.
[Holy crap... Attorney Jiang, do you want to hear what you're saying?]
Is this even human language? It's straying far from human standards!
What kind of amazing people's live streams have I been watching every day?!
[Fun fact: Poop is also a non-Newtonian fluid. If you can't hold it in, try jumping or pounding your buttocks a couple of times; it will harden and become harder to come out. Once you relax, it will come out more easily. Give it a try!]
Why the hell should I believe you? How am I supposed to take the bus now?
"Bro, that smells good!"
[Only a genius could offer such an opinion; even Satan needs connections to get a single lecture!]
[That Satan has truly learned something!]
Jiang Chen didn't say much and simply hung up the other party's call.
It's not that Jiang Chen has lost his service awareness.
only……
He couldn't be bothered to listen anymore.
If you keep listening, he might just start swearing in the live stream!
The kind that gets blocked in a heartbeat.
He sighed deeply.
"Sigh... just a few more."
"If you ask any more questions like this, I'm muting you all!"
He's here to educate the public on the law, not to joke around!
After hearing this, people applying to join a live stream from now on will probably be a little more formal.
As Jiang Chen had predicted, things turned out just as he had expected.
Soon, Jiang Chen contacted the next person.
The other person spoke slowly; it was a boy.
"Hello, Attorney Jiang."
"I don't need legal aid, but I have a question that I'd like you to answer."
Jiang Chen frowned slightly and smacked his lips.
Another problem?
Could it be some kind of life-threatening problem again?
Jiang Chen bit his lip, his expression a little cautious.
"You...you speak first, let me hear it first."
If anything unexpected happens during his question, Jiang Chen will hang up immediately.
"Attorney Jiang, have you heard of the 'trolley problem'?"
The other person spoke slowly.
"I've never figured out this question since I was a child."
"I would like to ask you to answer this for me..."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen was slightly taken aback.
The trolley problem?
This is indeed an interesting question, and one that can be explained from multiple perspectives.
Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.
"The trolley problem... that's a fairly normal one."
"To prevent anyone from not understanding what the trolley problem is, let me explain it to you first."
Jiang Chen sat up straight and began to speak in a serious tone.
"The problem is simple: there's a runaway trolley with five people strapped to the track in front and only one person strapped to the other side."
"There's a track switch lever next to you. If you pull it, the trolley will change lanes and kill one person. If you ignore it, the trolley will kill five people!"
"So at this point... should you pull the lever?"
Upon hearing this question, viewers in the live stream immediately began to discuss it.
【The trolley problem? I know that!】
This is the first time I've heard this. I feel like we should probably pull it off; after all, the difference between sacrificing one person and sacrificing five is obvious!
【That won't do! What if one of them is a scientist who has made outstanding contributions, while the other five are death row inmates?】
【That's true, their values are different, so I won't pull them.】
[Not going to pull them? What if those five are scientists who have made contributions, and the other one is a death row inmate!]
【What?! If that's the case, I have to pull them!】
The fatal flaw of the trolley problem lies here: would you rather sacrifice one to save five, or watch one die?
[This is such a difficult choice. If I pull the lever, wouldn't that be considered intentionally killing that person? If I don't pull it, would I be breaking the law for turning a blind eye?]
This is definitely a question worth discussing!
Jiang Chen smiled slightly as he looked at the comments left by viewers in the live stream.
Finally, a serious question has arrived.
He also had his own legal interpretation of the trolley problem.
"Cough cough..."
Jiang Chen cleared his throat and spoke slowly.
"Before I explain the trolley problem to you, I'd like to ask you a question."
"That is... is the right to life equal for all people?"
The boy on the video call thought for a moment, then answered seriously.
"Attorney Jiang, I feel that it should be equal, but in my question just now... it wasn't quite equal."
Jiang Chen didn't speak, but listened attentively to his explanation.
"Attorney Jiang, take a look."
"Although all people are equal, the numbers are different; clearly, one side has more people!"
"Does that mean people here have a greater right to life?"
Jiang Chen frowned slightly and glanced at the comments section.
Incredibly, among the many netizens, there are actually people who agree with this view!
Jiang Chen took a deep breath and shook his head.
"Wrong! Utterly wrong!"
From a legal perspective, everyone's right to life is absolutely equal, regardless of quantity!
Jiang Chen, with a serious expression, began to explain the science in a solemn manner.
"my country's Civil Code and Constitution clearly stipulate that citizens' right to life and health is equally protected by law, and the legal value of each individual life is completely equal. There is no such thing as the lives of multiple people being inherently more important than those of one person!"
"The law does not recognize that life can be valued cumulatively!"
"We cannot deliberately deprive innocent individuals of their right to life in order to ensure the survival of the majority!"
"The equal right of every individual life must not be diluted by quantity!"
Jiang Chen explained the importance of the right to life in the simplest language.
"But..." The boy on the other end of the line still seemed a little confused.
"Faced with this choice, sacrificing one person... wouldn't that be considered emergency avoidance?"
"Isn't this normal?"
The problem he was considering was very simple.
One person dies... or five?
If we treat this as a math problem, we definitely have to choose one to die!
Jiang Chen sneered and retorted directly.
"What if you were the one being tied up? Would you still consider this an emergency defensive maneuver?"
Upon hearing this, the boy on the live stream fell silent.
The netizens who were previously discussing the matter have now fallen silent.
That's absolutely right!
I might be the one controlling that lever.
It's also possible that they were tied up there alone!
What right does he have to make decisions about other people's lives?
After a moment of silence, the viewers in the live stream chat exploded.
[When faced with a difficult question, they fall silent again.]
I don't think you should have pulled the lever. If you hadn't pulled it, nothing would have happened. But pulling it would have been considered intentional homicide!
This is too much trouble. If it were me, I'd just tie up the people who were tied up separately and bring them to the main fork in the road as well!
[Fine, fine, even Satan would have to learn from you!]
So... how do we solve this problem? It's an unsolvable problem!
[That's right, if we don't save them... we can't just stand by and watch those five people get crushed to death!]
