Editing Trolley problem (section)

=== The Fat Villain ===
This variation is similar to ''The Fat Man'', with the additional assertion that the fat man who may be pushed is a villain who is responsible for the whole situation: the fat man was the one who tied five people to the track, and sent a trolley in their direction with the intention of killing them. In this variation, a majority of people are willing to push the fat man.<ref>Westacott, Emrys. "Would You Kill One Person to Save Five?"

Unlike in the previous scenario, pushing the fat villain to stop the trolley may be seen as a form of [[retributive justice]] or [[self-defense]].
