yeah, i agree, the fact that they just pushed someone in the path of a train would haunt them with guilt, and possibly a jail sentence, even if it saved the lives of 5 others.
I doubt the courts would see that you pushing the fat man on the tracks saved 5 others. they may acknowledge it, but to the law, its murder.
now, if the fat man had a gun, with the intent to shoot you, then its self defense.
Who's life would you rather save?
