If it's jot you then the question becomes, are you willing to commit suicide so a reasonable facsimile of you can save some strangers.

    I'm willing to die to save people, so if some version of me actually gets to survive it, with there being a chance that it is me, then there's no reason for me not to do it.

    Are you willing to die to save any people?

    People dumb enough to nap on a trolley trail? No. rich people? Also no.

    Actually this would be faster the other way around.

    Orphans with chronic diseases who, should they be saved stand a reasonable chance at a cure and a long, prosperous and happy life?

    Also no.

    I'd pull the lever if I was tied to the other track. The only meaningful difference is that there will be someone who shares my values and experiences roaming the earth after I die. I can live with that.

    I wonder if that would inspire him to become healthier and live longer. If I knew someome sacrificed their life so I could live, I would probably treat my body a lot better. Maybe I should go through a transporter...
