Fatalsaint - the fallacy lies in asserting that by doing nothing you have somehow stamped your will upon the scenario. This is a grossly unprovable non sequitur. The scenario, as encountered, has nothing to do with you...until you choose to participate. By pulling a lever, you are making the ultimate decision to terminate one life over another.

By what authority do you make this choice? What cosmic gift of perspective grants you the vision to determine the relative value of unknown lives?
