Interesting...

it's not really though - one is allowing someone to die, the other is physically killing someone - a huge difference.

I wouldn't do it either. My reasoning:
Since I am close enough to push the guy onto the track, I am also close enough so I can jump in front of it myself. While I would love to say "yeah, I would do that", the simple fact is that there is no way I would. If I''m not willing to sacrifice my life for 4 other people, how can I force someone else to do it?
