  Andow argues that we shouldn’t dismiss these results on the grounds that the responses did not reflect the participants’ intuitions about the moral relevance of killing (138ff). But it is hard to accept that 25% of respondents really thought that the fact that their act involves killing someone does not even count against doing it. To believe this is not just to sincerely utter the words, but involves certain counter-factual beliefs. For instance, if I did not think that the fact that by pulling the lever I would be killing someone counts against pulling the lever, then if I had a second lever which would save the five without killing anyone, I would be indifferent about which lever I’d pull. It is difficult to believe that the respondents who claimed that killing did not matter in trolley case scenarios would be indifferent in this counter-factual scenario. Furthermore, thinking that killing does not count against one’s act commits one to the thought that there is absolutely nothing to regret. But it is likely that if these people were put in a real scenario where they could only save five by killing one, they would regret deeply the fact that they could only save the five in this way. None of this fits with the results of Andow’s experimental findings, and casts doubt on whether the respondent’s replies really reflect their intuitions about the case.
