You did it. You broke the conditioning.

Wow.... so you're telling me you took an action that resulted in the death of one person.... to save the lives of many people... who would have died if you did nothing??? that sounds so familiar

You fool.

Now you expanded the problem; is it moral to kill a person responsible for murder, to make a choice to end someone's life?

I stood on the edge of it all, a lone figure against the storm, contemplating the grim series of events that had led me here. The trolley problem, they called it. An ethical dilemma turned deadly reality. I had solved it the only way I knew how - with a bullet. The man responsible for tying all those people to the tracks was finally dead. It was over.

That's always been my answer, I don't touch anything unless it's to switch it to the person who put me in the position to "have to decide" because fuck that guy.
