When it comes to saving a loved one, that is the law.. no written commandment governs my actions. None.

A trolley is running out of control down a track. In its path are five people who have been tied to the track by a mad philosopher. Fortunately, you could flip a switch, which will lead the trolley down a different track to safety. Unfortunately, there is a single person tied to that track. Should you flip the switch or do nothing?
This is a classic "right vs. good" dilemma. By acting, one person dies instead of five. So the Utilitarian has no problem. However, by acting, that one person who is killed would not have died otherwise. That person is as innocent as the others, so by acting one is choosing to kill an innocent person. Their family is not going to be happy about your actions. In fact, any deaths will be morally due to the actions of the "mad philosopher." Yet choosing to kill the one person, in isolation from the circumstances, would be a wrongful homicide.
Me ... if the entire populace of facebook were on the one side, and my lover on the other, i would flip the switch ... i would have said populace of EP, but i would have offended even more people than i am now ... :)
