A philosophical question.

1. SHOULD WE KILL HEALTHY PEOPLE FOR THEIR ORGANS? Suppose Bill is a healthy man without family or loved ones. Would it be ok painlessly to kill him if his organs would save five people, one of whom needs a heart, another a kidney, and so on? If not, why not?
Consider another case: you and six others are kidnapped, and the kidnapper somehow persuades you that if you shoot dead one of the other hostages, he will set the remaining five free, whereas if you do not, he will shoot all six. (Either way, he'll release you.)
If in this case you should kill one to save five, why not in the previous, organs case? If in this case too you have qualms, consider yet another: you're in the cab of a runaway tram and see five people tied to the track ahead. You have the option of sending the tram on to the track forking off to the left, on which only one person is tied. Surely you should send the tram left, killing one to save five.
But then why not kill Bill?

Would it not be easier to leave Bob alone, and painlessly kill the unhealthy people in need of organ donation?

This is sick.

If you don't fear death then the questions are silly.

would you dismantle a brand new car, to try and repair 5 damaged cars, leaving you with 5 repaired cars and one once brand new car in bits and pieces??

No you go to the scrapyard and get the parts from cars that are already past the point of being fixed. Then you have 5 repairs and still poor aul bons brand new!!

Sort of how it already works!
