    Morally speaking people could argue that torturing immortal people is worse.

    However legally speaking to you don’t kill them and therefore the immortals are preferred.

        That would mean you did it on purpose. But you didn’t power the trolley. You “accidentally” flipped the switch… And left. Since you can’t do more.
