I've never heard of this before. If the only options are kill one person or kill five, I'd choose to only kill one. Am I missing something?

Yeah, I always choose to do nothing in the trolley problem. If you pull the lever, this is a murder, if you do nothing, it's an accident. I think this question showing how many people are potential criminals of murder.
