And what if the man on the track, with his life in your hands, happens to be your only son, a kindly and senstivie chap and a promising musician, responsible and fair-dealing, father of four children, a hardy worker for several worthwhile charities, Steve, and the train is full of manacled prisoners convicted of murder, rape and violent crime?

Violent criminals forfeit their right to be considered over others. That's why they get locked away.
Assuming there are other, not-so-condemned people on the train, my position stands... and I hope to the Gods that my son has the sense to get off the tracks.
Okay, now
I'm getting a headache...
