Re: A terroristic problem
If the purpose of this is to make a life or death decision based on an "easy calculation" (how absurd is that) to save the most lives, one needs to consider the INFINITE increase from 0 deaths to 1 death (you shoot and kill him). The increase from 1 death to 5 or more is not NEARLY as big an increase.
Therefore, you better be pretty damn certain that you will be saving lives before you make that infinite increase from 0 to 1.
