Trolley Problem Complex Plane

You are the conductor of a trolley in the complex plane, surrounded on all sides by people, stretching out to infinity. The trolley will start at 0 and move iteratively, its next position calculated as f(z) = z^2 + C, where z is its current position. c is arbitrary. You may set it to any complex number, but cannot change it once the trolley starts moving. For what values of c will the death toll not be infinite?

The Trolley Problem in a nutshell

Nobody is in any danger. You are a professor for moral philosophy. Do you tie people to the rails to save your job?

A trolley overload is hurtle out of control to five innocent child factory workers. If you are pull lever, the trolley track will do switch to other and make crash bang trolley kill of Pakistan. 0:0 00OR Do you pulling lever? SKREE E- SQUELCH CLICK Interesting. Make consideration this one. A trolley is hurtle toward five poor coffee farmers. You is on bridge, overlooking the tracks, and next to you is man with very fat. If you do the push shove to him, he will make the gravity fall kill in front of trolley and stop it from kill farmers. Do you pushing him? Do you answer change if you have hate of him? Hmm. Let remove vehicle from problem. You is doctor with five patients of same blood type but need new organ that differing. They will die if not have organ transplant. You have a healthy patient in you clinic has same blood type also. He is of good health, but is prisoner sentence to execution. Do you make the state sanctioned slice chop kill of him and harvest organs? Well? Do you?

Quantum trolley problem

A quantum wave-trolley approaches a plate with a double slit. On the other end of each slit is a crystal that will split the wave-trolley into an entangled pair of wave trolleys with half the energy of the original. You stand next to a lever that operates seven wave-trolley detectors. These detectors are placed on the tracks thet the entangled pairs will go through. Right after the detectors, people are tied down to the track, placed inside a box transparent only to the trolley frequency of the EM spectrum (this means you can't know if they are dead or alive until the box opens). If you activate the detectors, you will force the trolley's wave function to collapse into a single trolley-particle by revealing which slit it went through. This would instantly kill one of the two persons in front of the detectors on one side, but also have a 50% chance of killing a single person on the other end, or a 25% chance of either killing 4, or none, depending the final direction that the particle- trolley goes through. If you do nothing, you might kill everyone or no one, or some in some worlds and some in others. But you don't know which is it, because you haven't figured out whether the correct interpretation is Copenhagen, or Many Worlds or Pilot Wave or any other. There is one last problem: You are a virtue ethicist, and so you are probably unaware of any developments after Aristotle, and you're only vaguely aware that the 20th century happened, because you might have read Macintyre or Anscombe so you have no idea what any of this means or how to approach it PAM What do you do?
