    Imagine the 'Trolley Problem" where there is a toddler on one track, and on the other track there is a cooler containing 100 in-vitro embryos. Which would you save, and why?

        Oh no! There were 2 toddlers and 200 frozen embryos on the trolley. Derailing it has destroyed them all.

          You already have my answer: try to derail tram in order to save both. If I fail, I fail. Knowing that I tried to save 101 people is all that matters because in the end the tram operator will be the one sued to make the family(ies) whole.

              There is no real trolley

              Then there is no real answer.

              Instead of focusing on who to save with a magic lever, I would instead focus on how to save both groups. I’m not sorry you don’t like that answer.
