1) Make a trolley problem variant. The Trolley problem is known for having a near-infinite ability to be altered and changed without losing the core concept of reducing a complex scenario to pulling (or not) a lever. This involves taking the basic trolley problem and changing something (such as, what's on each side of the track, how many tracks there are, what you have to do to change the outcome, etc.) in order to make a new problem that elicits different intuitions. Famous examples include the Fat Man (from Judith Thompson) or the Transplant Surgeon / Organ DonorLinks to an external site. case. There are, in fact, so many variants of the trolley problem that it has become a meme. For more examples, see this article on modern trolley problem variantsLinks to an external site., this simulationLinks to an external site., or even this parody articleLinks to an external site..
One way to engage with this question is to make your own variant and discuss what it is meant to show - for instance, the Transplant Surgeon shows a case where most people believe it is NOT ethical to save more lives - the opposite of the classic trolley problem.
2) Create a different scenario. Come up with an anecdote, story, example, situation, etc. that you think you can use to illustrate a point. This can be (but doesn't need to be) related to your central topic from EIML.
