Legality vs Morality
Is it better to harm one person but save more people or is it better to save one and harm many? If you were asked if it's better to sacrifice one to save more, the logical answer is to hurt that one person to save more people but is that an ethical thing to do? This question can be applied in many situations. For example, you were a driver of a trolley car, your trolley car is operating at sixty miles per hour, your brake isn't functioning, however, your steering wheel is, in front of you are five workers and on the side track is one worker working on the track, would you steer onto the side track to save the five or remain going straight to crashing into the 5 workers?
In my opinion, this is a lose-lose situation, at the end of the day someone had to be sacrifice and neither of those choices are ethical. Though if I really had to choose, I would sacrifice the one to save more people, killing the five, will affect more people including their family.
