From Wiki:



The Trolley Problem is an ethical dilemma, where:
-if you pull the lever, 1 person dies.  
-if you don't, 5 people die.

Pulling the lever sacrifices one life to save 5.  

There are other variants.

One of which involves a very large man, who if you push in front of the train will stop it.  Thus sacrificing one life to save 5.
