8 people vote to drive the bus over a cliff into a crowd of people. 6 people vote to shoot the crowd of people from the safety of the bus. 10 people choose not to vote, some because they don’t want to harm the crowd of people, others because they’re lazy.
It’s a sour vote either way. But if the remaining people vote “Let’s just get ice cream and not kill anyone”, I’d find them morally in the clear, even should that vote fail.
Alright.
