The repeated conduct of Thomson's "Trolley problem" (in its various versions) experiment has shown that an overwhelming majority of people (regardless of political, cultural or religious background) operate ethically based on in-group and out-group considerations and cost-benefit analysis.
Verdict: we are more alike in our moral understandings than we think and we have it in us to operate morally as a species away from our petty constructed differences. This findings also show us that no one group of people are more morally superior to another
