Depends on if you're happy with someone else killing lot more people, or if you want to kill someone yourself.
Assuming this goes to infinity, the reasonable thing to do is to kill one person to prevent someone else killing a lot of people. But that would make you directly responsible for killing that person.
Isn't redirecting making you directly responsible for minimum of 2 deaths?
You'd be indirectly responsible for those deaths.
Fair enough
Not the person who you were talking to but I don't think i will feel responsible if conductor after me decides to kill bunch of people with a trolley. And i wouldn't be responsible if i saved people by not getting them gored by some trolley.
No, that's someone else's choice to kill.
