Random philosophical question:

If you kill a defenseless person, and by doing so save the lives of several thousand defenseless people, are you good? or are you bad?

It is a very weird trolley problem where there is one person on one track, and thousands on the second track, and as the person who throws the switch (or doesn't) you are definitely responsible for either one death or thousands.
