Interesting philosophical question :)
Imagine you are standing on a train platform. The track next to you forks either way. There are four men working on the right fork and there is one man working on the left fork. Suddenly, up ahead, you see a runaway train! Currently, the track is set to the right fork. The men will not have enough time to run, even if they knew it was coming. You can do nothing, except... In front of you, there is a lever. If you pull the lever, you will be able to switch the track so that the train runs left, and only one man dies. Aware that you cannot save everyone, do you pull the lever?
Think carefully!

Once a master of nothing, now a noob to pretty much everything.
Hiatus resolved. I stalk these hallways again.
GC Silent_Dynasty because I'm indecisive and whatever ;u;
