I think it's weird how much energy gets spent debating this made-up ethical quandary that has no actual real-world parallels and can only happen in fantasy scenarios.
Like at least the trolley problem could happen.

Most of our morals, ethics and decision making comes from talking about hypothetical scenarios and discussing, analayzing and debating them.
Acting like a moral dilemma is bizarre to talk about because it's fictional is obscenely close-minded. I'd wager most ethicals and moral dilemmas ever discussed by a landslide are hypothetical.
The resulting morals and ethics we take on in our lives from the discourse is the same regardless.
And keep in mind, the example I used earlier in this topic of organ harvesting was itself science fiction until the 1950s. Less than a century ago.
