ok buts let's go two steps further here. The people who would die if the person at the switch decided to kill are already bound to the tracks, as can be seen in the image. Now, if the choice is "Kill 16 billion people or double it and give it to the next person", the person who's supposed to flip the switch is ALREADY on the tracks, unable to move.

So the real question is, what is the default position?
