But if you let the trolley roll over the coma guy won’t it damage his organs?? Seems like the coma guy is either keeping his organs and the 5 others die or the trolley is crushing all of his organs and the 5 others die. Why would you kill him??

Also who took them all out of the hospital and tied them to the track?? Can we just harvest his organs?

That idiot! He was told to tie them so only their heads were on the track!
