Could a Sociopath or Empath have reduced the casualities?

Someone posted a long time back the scenario where if you had the choice of redirecting a train to kill one man, in order to save the greater number of lives on board, could you do it?

Supposedly people with sociopathic objectivity experience less quandary in choosing to kill the one to save the many.

Well, what about the scenario above that just happened in France?

A woman has the choice to either punch in the pass code and risk several more lives lost,

or the attackers kill her daughter and probably her, that could buy time to save more lives.

If they would kill anyway, this would at least spare lives of her and her daughter.

But what if they could have been blocked from entering at all, and could use that time to thwart the attack.

 

What do YOU think? If you were in this position, what would it take you to give the pass code or not?

How do you think a sociopathic or empath personality would respond differently,

given that it is their life and their own daughter at stake?

 

In the train scenario, is the only reason the sociopathic person might say they'd kill the one man to save the others

because the man isn't them nor someone they want to save? How does this change when it's someone close to you?

 

My prayers, BTW, to all the people affected by this shooting, and those uniting in grief and solidary behind the Je Suis Charlie and Je Suis Ahmed movements. I believe that can move the world to stand up and unite around solutions, so this unity is long overdue.

My heart goes out, and hats off to all who have lost lives so that others may be spared.

I would do anything that promotes my survival, even if it came at the expense of others, because I love being alive. As for the train situation I would not do anything that causes me to me "involved" with what happens. Because I don't want any part of that mess. If someone were to ask me about what was going on with me during all of that, I would just say I was in shock. In reality I would find the catastrophe to be an interesting spectacle. Flipping a lever would never go through my mind.

Why would their lives be my responsibility at all?

"If they would kill anyway, this would at least spare lives of her and her daughter."
Mother and daughter saving themselves is more relatable to me.

"How do you think a sociopathic or empath personality would respond differently,"
Depends on the lives they lead up to that point, for both of them.

On another note, welcome back. It's been almost half a year.

I can imagine both personalities doing both things, just for different reasons.

i get the feeling in that scenario that happened in france, the sociopath would do the more self-serving thing and punch in the pass code , but in reality the empath could be just as capable of such a thing, so it really is a pretty tough call.

 

if we're talking about survival , then yea , i'd punch in the code , because like the other guy said, i'd like to live lol. however if i wanted to be remembered as a hero or a martyr of some kind before i die... maybe the other way around... more likely the first option though, lol.

 

as for the train scenario, i'd probably pull the switch. sucks that the one guy had to go but if it saves many other lives , overall it was worth it.

With tons of liability and, likely, a ton of witnesses? The easiest answer is to let what would have happened without you happen, as otherwise you're stuck with the responsibility of the aftermath.

There's also always going to be that guy who asks why you didn't try to save everyone.
