of course you can think and choose, as well as rationally debate, my point is that given the circumstances is it right for you to decide what makes one life better than another? i would not assume to think for you, but the statistical valuation of life seems to me weighed towards the elitist society you mentioned before a lot more than assuming every life is sacred and 5 should be worth more than 1.

oh and i know it takes more than just mentioning hitler, but saying one of the five might turn out to be him as a justification for inaction seemed close enough to me!
