lot of dilemmas we go over in class there are a couple that stand out to me. The trolley dilemma is a situation I personally hope I never encounter and the dilemma where if you had a ring that made you invisible.

1 The Smart Car In 1991‚ Nicolas Hayek‚ chairman of Swatch‚ announced an agreement with Volkswagen to develop a battery-powered "Swatch car."

Like the Swatch‚ the Swatchmobile (officially named "Smart") was
