LOVE (6 January 2013)
You have started to lose the feelings you once had for your partner, should you take a newly developed drug that can restore those feelings?
DEATH (13 January 2013)
A train is out of control: the breaks have failed. Ahead five people are tied to a track. You are standing by the side of the track and with a switch could turn the train down a side track. Unfortunately, one man is tied onto this side track. What should you do?
CHARITY (27 January 2013)
Why should you give more money to charity? You’d help a child drowning in a pond in front of you, so what’s the difference, between that child, and one dying of malnutrition in sub-Saharan Africa who could be saved by your actions?
HAPPINESS (3 February 2013)
You might think that what matters most to you is that you are happy. But is that really true? What if you could be certain of leading a life of blissful mental states, would that be the one you’d choose?
