A train is running down a track which has five people on it. You can flip a switch that would divert the train to a track with only one person on it. Should you flip the switch?

Let me guess, I'm not fast enough to unrope that one person?

- I'd sacrifice five people to save one person I care about.
- Otherwise I'd sacrifice the one person to save the five people.

But I would hate to have only those two options.
