The document discusses the trolley dilemma, a famous thought experiment where participants must decide whether to sacrifice one person to save five others. It explores how people react when placed in a virtual reality simulation of this scenario and examines what their responses reveal about human ethical instincts and moral codes. The simulation analyzes how people navigate difficult decisions between sacrificing one life or letting many more die, and whether people feel their actions can be condoned to save more lives overall.
