Question

Thirty people are trapped in a cave that will soon fill with ocean water

and drown them. The only way out is an opening in the cave wall, but

it is blocked by an obese man who is wedged firmly in the breach—

and no amount of pulling or pushing can dislodge him. The leader of

the group, however, has several sticks of dynamite that could be used

to blast a hole in the opening, freeing everyone but killing the obese

man. Should the man be sacrificed to save everyone? Should the others

spare him and thus bring death to them all?
