Logically, I would want to fall back on the idea that it would be better to kill the 1 than the 100, but morality, again, has less to do with numbers than it does with principles. Had I been placed into that situation by the Joker (and especially having been placed on the 100-person switch), I just don't think I could see myself choosing to kill the 1 over the 100. This is where the muddy subjectivity of 'morality' comes into play, and it all comes down to the idea that I just don't see myself deciding that 1 life is inherently worth less than 100 lives. (Who are these people? Is it 100 death-row inmates vs 1 5-year-old girl, or vice-versa? Is it 100 terrorists vs a neurosurgeon?) Without having further knowledge of those people, I would, in all likely-hood, stay exactly where I had been placed.
So, you're saying you're just not going to move no matter which switchplate you're placed on?
