If a tram sees a car negligently parked on the tracks, it should plow through it. The tram operator isn’t going to see if there’s a baby inside. Whoever parked the car on the tracks and left the baby inside is responsible for their own negligence, and also a psychopath.
Explain why the baby deserves to die because of their negligent parent.
Regardless of who we assign blame to, the important part is that if a train flips a car off its tracks, a baby in that car could die. So if we prioritize baby non-death, we can say that the train shouldnt be violently flipping cars off its tracks
I didn’t say they deserve to die. I only said their death is the parent’s responsibility for leaving them in a car parked on the tracks.
If a parent leaves a baby in the woods, no one would be arguing about “maybe bears shouldn’t eat babies!” They would be saying “Maybe you shouldn’t leave your baby unattended in the woods!”
Leave a baby in the woods, it dies. Leave a baby on the train tracks, it dies. In both cases, it’s the negligent parent’s fault. Not the bear’s or the train’s.
With a bloodthirsty absolutist mentality like that, have you considered a career in ICE?
It’s not bloodthirsty nor absolutist.

Your concept of right and wrong is clearly detached from reality
I like this “the street car operator will make a baby die if they have to push a blocking car out of the way” strawman you have here
I find your insistence on excusing the irresponsible parent’s neglectful behavior to be objectionable.
