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

No

You're wrong. Look, the entire premise falls apart once you think about it seriously. You can't just math your way through morality—"five is more than one, therefore kill the one." That's how you end up justifying anything. Today it's one for five, tomorrow it's one for two, then one for one if it's convenient. You've destroyed the principle that human life has inherent worth. Plus, who decides who dies? You? A committee? Once you accept killing innocents as acceptable policy, you've handed power to whoever gets to make that choice. History's full of "greater good" massacres that looked reasonable on paper. The real answer is: you don't kill anyone. You find another way.
