Grrr…

IMO, the trolley problem breaks down as follows:

If I do nothing, I am not at fault. I did not set this trolley on this path. If I act, I am at fault.

Moreover, if I act, I am *legally* at fault, and can be charged accordingly.

Moreover, I may be *wrong*, and what I *perceive* as a threat might not actually be a problem (shooting a film, for example). If I am wrong, then it could be a choice between 0 deaths and 1 death.

In order to remove all those excess variables… well, it depends on which aspect you *want* to evaluate.

Because, not unlike the original CaW vs CaS article, the trolley problem seems to be comparing too many variables at once.
