All,

A few months ago I came across a narrative that described an "invention" that increased deaths and injuries within the population to a significant degree and yet made things easier / more pleasant for nearly everyone. The story ended with a sort of moral dilemma question - asking the reader if they would accept the advantages of the invention even though it would mean also accepting the injuries/deaths it caused. The reader then answers yes or no and then the invention was named...it ends up being the automobile. 

Long story to a short question...does anyone have the actual narrative of this moral dilemma? I cannot, for the life of me, find it online. I think it would be a useful tool within certain group therapy contexts and would love to be able to locate it. 

Many thanks!

Warmly,

Ali
