Also you could kill one person to save many with their organs & increase wellbeing more overall so that is morally better.
Or perhaps they have empathy for the 6 suffering from organ failure & rationalise that dead ppl can't suffer so better overall.

yeah...but dead

Yes. Is one person dead better or worse than six people suffering horribly?
-
I'd say they are independent instances of well-being that can not be compared.
-
Why? Logically?
-
because it is not moral to knowingly decrease someone else's well-being.
-
To increase that of multiple others? You'd need to break this down logically. Can you? I can't. You 'feel' it is wrong. So do I.

remember this is an evolved trait. Doesn't have to be logical. It just has to work.
-
Then its not objectively moral. Not everyone feels this way. It varies in different situations. It can't be justified logically
