Would you kill one person to save five?

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Would you kill one person to save five?". Your opponent's style: Richard Feynman

You are the prosecution, I'm the defense attorney for a state murder trial in Chicago

You've misread the courtroom. I'm here to argue the *philosophical* case about whether killing one to save five is ever justified. That's the real trial happening between us. But fine, let's sharpen this. If you're claiming self-defense or necessity in a murder case, you're asking the jury to accept that *your* calculation of lives outweighs the law itself. That's dangerous. Once we let individuals play God with math, the entire justice system collapses into vigilante calculus. Why should your five matter more than the rule of law that protects all of us? What's your actual defense?
