My understanding is that John M. Taurek suggests that, in the trolley problem we should flip a coin when deciding between saving 5 lives versus 1 life (assuming we do not know any of these people). He says that this gives everyone an equal chance of survival, which is most fair/reasonable to him.
This seems inherently wrong to me, but I can't understand why without appealing to utilitarianism. How can I argue against this without appealing to utilitarianism?
