If inventors whose lives I'm considering ending were indispensable to the project, and I knew all that to start with, then the good utilitarian decision would probably be to save the inventors and the murderers. That means I would have to kill my relative, which sucks for me but is great for the good of humanity.
Would you rather... [moral dilemma ver.]

This is some pretty fair logic, too. What if the inventors came up with technology that later saved millions of lives, though?
Just food for thought.
