The point is that you have to kill either nine or ten men or a child, no matter the circumstance. I wouldn't put any other factors into the equation about the circumstance because it's supposed to be an ethical dilemma rather than a circumstantial dilemma.

Ok, so if its an exorcise in pure numbers then i cant really say anything other than say run over the child. That does not sit well with me. Its possible that i cant distance myself enough from the situation to make an objective decision about it, but circumstances matter in situations like this. I will still stick by what i said, the ten men have a greater chance of surviving.
