Need an age-old ethical question answered? Please ask this toddler, who was recently presented with the classic trolley problem (http://www.philosophytalk.org/community/blog/john-perry/2015/04/lessons-trolley-problem).
The trolly problem posits this: if a runaway trolley is about to run into five people trapped on the tracks, but can be rerouted to a track with only one person trapped on it, should you reroute it? Or let the trolley take its course?
It's a complicated scenario (obviously), but the kid, 2, just decides to put all six humans on one track and let his toy train crush them all.
Duh, guys. It's so obvious: You can't have any witnesses.
