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.)

I feel that if that is what Bill wants, then that is what should happen. I mean, he'd be helping people, yes, but he is a human who has a mind of his own. He deserves to make the decision.
As for this one, if I were in this situation, I honestly don't know what I would do. I mean, are any of the other people I'm with injured severely, or sick, etc?
