Thinking about the situation of course it would be very difficult to choose given the fact
that both choices result in harm or death to innocent individuals. It is impossible to say what the
right or wrong choice is in such a scenario, as both options involve tragic consequences. As I
said both have consequences, if the parent will choose to save the people in the train his son will
be killed, and the he will have to live with the grief and loss of his child or may face criticism
and judgment from others for not saving his own child. While if I choose to save my child many
lives on the train will be lost, and their families and loved ones will suffer immense grief and
loss. But putting myself in the shoes of the parents I will choose to save my son. Why? Because
it’s my obligation to save my son in any situation and as a parent it’s my nature to have a
parental love and instinct which Parents often have a strong emotional attachment and
responsibility towards their children, which may lead them to prioritize their child's safety over
that of others. To justify my answer if I will save those people it’s not a guarantee that they will
acknowledge what I did. What if those people seeing me grieving and crying for sacrificing my
own son just ignored and they gave no other thought or concern to me who had just given up
what was most precious to me so that they could live. One more thing if I will choose to save
other people I will just live with full of hatred towards myself and I may struggle with mental
and emotional trauma as a result of my decision, especially if I blames myself for my son's
death.
