5) No I wouldn't interfere with it. I wouldn't pull the lever. Why do I get the right to decide who lives and dies?

4) Umm, i dunno. Probably.

3) Yes, I would give up 9 months of my life to save a man.

2) Yes, I don't particularly love me life as it is.

1) Yes, it's still the same ship. Its just been repaired.

5) I would let it do it's self. I would hate to choose who stayed alive.

4) I'd probably torture him :/

3) I would give up 9 months to keep him alive.

2) No, i wouldnt, i'm growing up and wouldnt want to loose it.

1) I'm really not sure

5. I'd Pull The Lever Because It's Better To Lose One Than 5.
4. Yes, Of Course I Would Brutally Torture Him. There Are Hundreds Of Thousands of Lives At Risk Including Family & Friends.
3. Yes, I Would Give Up 9 Of My Months Of Living To Save A Man, Since I Have Lots Of Years Left.
2. I Wouldn't Plug Myself Into The Machine, Because It's Better To Experience Reality Than Your Imagination, Because After The Machine It Will Still Remain The Same.
1. I'm Really Not To Sure . .

5) I find this one hard. Why should one man suffer for 5 others? But why should 5 men suffer for one man? But in all honesty, I would probably have to save all 5.

4) Yes, I would as it would save a whole lot of other lives. And the torture wouldn't necessarily kill him.

3) I don't quite understand this one. Does it literally mean attached as in tied up type? Even so, I think I would if he could live from it.

2) No, because you wouldn't be living a normal life. And when you think about it, your dreams would come true to a certain extent, but once everything is done many times, they wouldn't be dreams, just everyday activities. And you couldn't have any different dreams since you wouldn't have a life to dream in.

1) Hmm, interesting one. I think when it is all replaced, it is still the original ship of Thesus. But once the ship is made up of all the old parts of the ship of Thesus, then that is then the ship of Thesus, not the replaced one.

Very nice post!

Attached in a way that his life is dependant upon yours, so you can leave if you want to, but he would die.
Like a 9 month blood transfusion, but it doesn't really matter how, only the situation.

Ahhh right. But yes, I think I would still say yes to it

5. This one is a little hard, yes one or five people will die or live, but then again that person or people have to die for the other. If it came down to it, I would probably save the 5 people.

4. Heh, I remember you posting something very similar to this a long time ago. My answer still stays the same, would I torture him? No. Who's to say that even after the torture he tells you, let alone gives you the proper place for the bomb. It would be better to just have a mass evacuation and get as many people as you can out of that city.

3. In all honesty, I think I can sit through 9 months of doing that. Wouldn't even matter if they were famous or not, if I somehow woke up attached to someone for 9 months and their life depended on it, I could make it through.

2. I remember this one too and I'm still keeping my answer which is no. I get life itself can be hard and a struggle, but I would rather live through that than make my life become a lie in which everything is perfect. It would be nice, yes, but still, in the end it's a made up life and living a lie to me.

1. Personally I think no matter how it's repaired, it's still the same. Yes the parts have changed, but the name was given to the ship when it was made, whoever owns that ship holds it's name, so if it gets repaired with new parts, then to me, I would see it as being the same name. As for the old parts, I'm going to say no. Yes it's the parts from the original, but the original ship is still going strong. So if the original is still alive and going, then I think that the original is the true one regardless of it having newer parts.

5. The Trolley/Train Problem.

Yea I would certainly save the 5 people over the 1 person.

4. The Ticking Time Bomb.

A sick man like him deserves nothing less than torture.

3. The Famous Violinist.

Should not be obligated to spend 9 months of your life attached.

2. The Experience Machine.

Yes. Only because you will forget the original life. If that weren't the case then there would be no chance of me doing it.

1. The Ship of Theseus.

Someone who has gotten all kinds of plastic surgery and even had a heart transplant is still the same person right?
I know it's a flawed example but I still see it as pretty much the same.
Yes, it's still the Ship of Theseus

5) I wouldn't pull the lever, I'd let the single guy live. Less people on this Earth, the better. But in reality I'd probably just walk by and ignore it.

4) I wouldn't. I'd leave the city immediately and get as far away as possible. I'd tell everyone I know that I personally care for to leave as well. Torturing get's you no where and is a pointless technique that does not work. I'd just be wasting time when I can be fleeing.

3) No, my nine months are worth more than some famous guy that I know nothing about. He could die for all I care.

2) Yes if I didn't have to forget about everything, lol. But since you say you do, than no. My real life experience are more important to me than dreams and imagination. Very cool machine though, would love to try that out.

1) Yes it would still be the same ship because it was never completely destroyed as a whole. It's almost like if your ram in a Mac died and you got a new one, it's still a Mac, not something else. Now if I were to take all the old parts, yes. Since those were parts on thee Ship of Theseus, it's still the same ship with the same parts. Just old.
