    I haven’t altered anything, nor have I insinuated anything.

    I have, however, applied reductio ad absurdum.

      You have altered it. If you kill the patient you are a murderer. If you switch the tracks you are minimizing the damage done by a person that tied a bunch of people to the tracks. They are not morally equivalent.

        Oh, your version is much easier, no moral questions whatsoever. Matter of fact, it’s not even a problem anymore.
