Editing Trolley-8 (section)

==Explanation==
This comic is on a variation of the trolley problem, a highly parodied philosophical ethics problem in which the participant can pull a lever to prevent an event happening, typically one where the outcome is considered to be bad, but there are typically consequences which would in isolation be considered negative, but combined with the typically positive outcome of preventing the other negative event from happening may be considered to be a net positive. The example in this comic weighs the impending death of 500 people about to be run over by the trolley, to prevent it, the trolley will destroy the reproductive organs of one man who would have gone on to father 501 children. A naive look at the problem would suggest 501>500 so you should not pull the lever. It pokes fun at population ethics, as the field cares about potential lives that may exist in the future and what people who are alive now can do to benefit them.
