> seems completely unrealistic The original trolley problem is completely unrealistic too because it relies on bystander intervention. I would not jump onto tracks to switch anything either if something was broken. I don't work for the rail company. My intervention wouldn't be appropriate and could make things worse. The "say a word" version could be a voice-activated password to the computer that can trip the brakes. Same realism. "I refuse to say that word out loud" is an interesting result and fresh ethical dilemma for the old problem.
