Where do you draw the line with that sort of reasoning?
You either kill people or you don't... I would not kill one healthy innocent person just to save five others!
Scenerio 1: Save the five I can... call an ambulance for the one that needs more antidote... (greatest good)
Scenerio 2: Call ambulance to my office to pick up the five organ failure patients (why were they not taken directly to the hospital anyway?
) and attend the broken finger... reasoning: I can only do what is in my capabilities.
