True...  I did indeed.

"The death of one is a tragedy...  the death of millions is a statistic."

But seriously, when it comes down to it, it is kind of a game of numbers.  I mean, if killing one person was the only way I could save a lot more people, I would probably do it.  Thankfully, that's not usually the case.

8 is incorrect. You did not kill the person. You may be at fault, you may be guilty, but you did not kill the person. It is an important stipulation.
How can I be guilty for somebody's death without having killed them, since the victim and myself are the only ones involved.

Would not save 1 to sacrifice 5,
But would not kill 1 to save 5. Its not my decision on who lives and dies.

The test fails, however, in that the reasoning behind a decision is just as important as the decision.
