The problem with both cases not being sacrifice-the-one-to-save-the-many, for me, is that the "decider" is one's self in the first case but an added person, the doctor has been added to the second. I have to decide what the doctor should do. In the first case, it's a "lever" not a human that is the deciding factor.
