Let's forget for the moment about this case.
-
That's good.
-
Let's imagine a different case.
-
This time you're a doctor in an emergency room
-
and six patients come to you.
-
They've been in a terrible trolley car wreck.
-
Five of them sustain moderate injuries,
-
one is severely injured, you could spend all day
-
caring for the one severely injured victim
-
but in that time, the five would die.
-
Or you could look after the five, restore them to health
-
but during that time, the one severely injured person would die.
