I agree with you and so does TheQwertiest!

I guess you could make a scenario that is in the middle of those two that could make me unsure, but in their current form I'm pretty clear of my actions.

Imagine the fat man was already laying on the trail. he asks you for help, you have the option to drag him away but in that case the train will kill 4 other people. What do you do?

To be able to analyze decisions and morals in these scenarios I think you have to assume that there are no more options than those present. Hence you are 100% sure what the outcome is for both choices.

But I agree there is an uneasy feeling in discussions morals in a very hypothetical situation!
