You know these scenarios where you're asked to kill 1 guy to save 10 people?

I was thinking about this scenario.
If you're in a situation where you have to kill a 95 year old in order to save a 5 year, obviously the answer is to kill the 95 year old right?
What if you're asked to kill two 95 year old in order to save that 5 year old kid. You would still kill the two 95 year old right?
What I was wondering is, how many 95 year old do I need to tip that scale over? 10? 20?
Cause let's say the deal is to kill a hundred 95 year old people in order to save 1 kid. You know, why wouldn't you save the kid? At this point letting the 100 year old die to get the kid is starting to save the government serious money right? No more pensions, no more medical to pay and in the end you get a brand new kid full of potential.
So yeah. How many 95 year old would have to be on the line for you to kill the kid in order to save them?

To be fair, I think Pat's posts have way more content/substance than Sheekle's by a long shot

I don't know man , I know some 5 year olds and they are dicks .
-------------------- I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

tough question.
it all depends who the five year old is.
i wouldn't personally murdur someone to save an anonymous kid who statistically will probably grow up to be a shitbag
if it was a relative, or a friends kid, that is different. it all depends

Yeah seriously. The 95-year olds aren't likely to brew up more humans with their twisted reproductive organs. The 5-year olds, on the other hand, probably will squeeze out kids like nuts. If the young ones go, there'll be less people in the end, thus saving you from more trite utilitarian quandaries in the future.
