    yes, but when you get to the point with the trolley, if you can't stop the trolley, you still should pull the lever. better yet, you should do everything you can to stop the trolley, no matter the cost to you.

      Any effort to pull the lever is justifiable, and any effort to stop the trolley is commendable. It's still the trolley itself doing the killing and the out-of-picture actor putting all the people in harm's way.
