Actually, the question needs to be rephrased:
“A runaway trolley is headed toward five people bound on the tracks. You are standing before the switch that could divert it onto another track, where it would kill only one person.
“And the person on that other track is a welfare recipient, frequent criminal offender, illegal alien radical Muslim drug dealer, who is a reliable Democrat-socialist who votes fraudulently several times in every election, and wants America destroyed.”
Do you pull the switch? Do you argue with other conservatives over who gets to pull the switch?

With no other knowledge than what was given any sane person would pull the switch to save five at the expense of killing one, to do otherwise would be absurd. It should not take even one moment of thought to make that decision. If it were a choice of destroying five new F-150 pickup trucks or one there would be no hesitation. Why is this presented as some kind of great moral quandary? Soldiers on the battlefield have been known to decide instantly to sacrifice their OWN lives to save five of their fellow soldiers. To make it an impossible choice is the same kind of thinking involved in saying, “You cannot put a price on human life.” That is poppycock, it is done every day. Are we to believe that ten TRILLION dollars might be spent to save one human life? There is a limit to everything except human stupidity.
