Killing People ???

NOT FOR WEAK HEARTED PERSONS
You all may have heard of the famous Trolley Problem
It has 2 options 

  1. Do nothing and allow the trolley to kill the five people on the main track.
  2. Pull the lever, diverting the trolley onto the side track where it will kill one person.
Basically, I see it as killing one person or letting five others die 
Most people say they would kill a person 
I often imagine myself in that situation and calculate how many people I would have to sacrifice to save that person 
Basically, would I kill a person or let "x" people die instead 
Sometimes, I just calculate the x for each person and I can't stop thinking about it 
I just can't 
And after deciding an x for each person I get a weird satisfaction 
I see letting x people die as killing x people tho 
How many people will you kill to save a person you know 
I have tried it with approximately every person and I just can't stop doing this when I get good friends with someone 
Just wanted to share this stupid thought :)
