The illustration depicts a trolley dilemma scenario accompanied by Japanese explanatory text labelled Q 8. The text describes a runaway trolley with failed brakes approaching a track split. On Track A, 5 immobile people lie across the rails. On Track B, 1 immobile person lies on the rails. A person labelled You stands beside a lever that can change the trolley route. The diagram labels the left track as A and the right track as B. Below, four numbered response options are listed, asking whether to do nothing and allow 5 people to die, or to operate the lever to save 5 people while causing the death of 1 person.The original text of the trolley problem question, figure and response options used in the survey
