Yeah. Let's do make it personal. (I'll rephrase another commenter's comment)

If I disassemble you and redistribute your body parts, I could save several people who are in dire need of a heart, some kidneys, some blood.

Should I just go ahead and do this? If not, why not?



I never said someone had to die. In your case, someone does.


Okay, so just one kidney and some blood then.


Or a vaccine administration? (sorry if this is too soon to bring that up)


Why should it matter? We could save three or four lives by ending just one. Surely, the lives of four people are at least a few times more valuable than that of one.
