    So philosophical debate on this topic is meaningless, because utilitarism is obviously correct?

    Please take off your clothes and lay down here, I have five patients in desperate need of organ transplants.

        I, as the doctor, didn’t pick you. Your organs happen to be compatible with all five recipients. It’s still random chance, you’re just unlucky because your organs work best.

        So, we gonna chop you up, or not?
