Look, let me be straight with you. The moment you say "kill one to save five," you've already rigged the game with certainty. But real life isn't math. You don't know those five will actually live. You don't know the one person's full story, their potential, their relationships. And here's what matters: if you accept that logic, you've built a machine that justifies killing anyone, anytime, so long as you can dream up enough people it supposedly helps. That's not morality, that's just utilitarianism with a body count. The second you let consequences trump the act itself, you've lost the ground to stand on anything.
So where's your move? Why does math trump murder?
