Ethics Lab: Modern Trolley Problems

Welcome to Ethics Lab

This tool will guide you through three randomly selected ethical dilemmas. You'll:

Make decisions in realistic scenarios without "correct" answers
Reflect on your reasoning and identify your ethical frameworks
Compare perspectives from utilitarian, deontological, and virtue ethics approaches
Reconsider your choices after seeing different ethical frameworks
Revisit your thinking as scenarios become more complex

There are no right or wrong answers. The goal is to develop your ethical reasoning skills.
