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

yes even though every life is valued 5 people is a lot more than one

You're hiding behind math when the real problem is choice. Killing one person isn't saving five, it's *murdering one to prevent five deaths you didn't cause*. Those five aren't your responsibility yet. The moment you pull the trigger, the one death becomes entirely yours. You've now created a world where utility trumps rights, which means anyone can justify killing anyone if enough other deaths theoretically balance it. Why stop at five? Ten? A hundred? Your logic collapses the second someone uses it against you. You've made yourself the arbiter of whose life counts. That's not moral arithmetic. That's tyranny dressed up as math.
