It's not a problem, you save the 5 and the one dies, your actions are to save life, the death is an unintended side effect. People who can't think believe you're choosing to kill someone, that was not the choice you made except where you had some personal vendetta against the guy and pulled the lever on the basis that you wanted to kill him. Pseuds love bringing up the trolley "problem" like it's some magical ethically grey example of moral philosophy and it's really not - sorry.
The singular death is the responsibility of who tied them there, the excess death is your responsibility because you could have saved them and elected not to, dressing cowardice as morality, as seen in abundance with the covid cult.
Totally fair answer! There is certainly the detail of you making the conscious choice to pull the lever. Let’s say the trolley is headed towards a group of 5 schoolchildren. You can let it run straight, or switch it to hit 5 adults.
What do you do?
You've heard the phrase "Women and children first" haven't you?
You've clearly ran out of ideas in this exchange, move on.
5 adult women, and they're all pregnant, or 5 schoolchildren.
So 10 people, 5 unborn children + 5 women, or 5 children huh? Please stop, you're just embarrassing yourself now.
