Over the years she has probably examined hundreds of different cases, and she has struggled mightily to produce a principle that matches our intuitions about those cases" Shelly Kagan, cited after Bert I. Huang, review of "The Trolley Problem Mysteries" (2015)."The current Miss Marple of trolleyology is Frances Kamm, a Harvard professor. She's the daughter of concentration camp survivors. Perhaps unsurprisingly, she takes morality very seriously. She dedicated one of her books to 'the love of morality'."
