Its not really a question of good or evil, more a question of responsibility. in the first case, there are a whole bunch of factors not taken into account here, but the decision in who gets the antidote would whos contribution to the community would be more daming if they were to leave. The person or persons who are more important to the survival of the community should be saved, and the other or others let to die. But then again this all depends on the wisdom of the person with the antidotes opinion.
as in the second case, it is not your decision to make. This seems to be clear cut as you have no power to end someone elses life. This power remains and should always remain in the control of the person concerned.
