@mollydot Only 7% of those who choose *not* to divert train throw fat man off bridge. So again, it doesn't look like fatness is big factor.

@philosophyexp I feel consent being mentioned might have changed my answer, but I can assume consent wouldn't given anyway. (78% vs 82% now)
@mollydot Yes. I'd say that in the absence of information, you have to assume no consent. Anything else is highly counterintuitive.

@philosophyexp Trying to think of an scenario that you mightn't: the one person is parent of the five? -
@mollydot Or the one person is a highly skilled brain surgeon? These sorts of variations crop up in the literature, etc.

@philosophyexp Good to learn about the doctrine of double effect.I think anti-abortionists have used that phrase & I didn't know what it was -
@mollydot Yes, they would argue that a medical procedure to save a person's life where miscarriage was a mere side effect would be okay. -
@philosophyexp In discussion with some on twitter,seems that abortion to save a life not ok, but inducing <20 week fetus is. But same thing?
