I actually had the trolley experiment involving shoving the "fat man" in mind, though I suppose the addition of a switch doesn't really change the matter of requiring a direct hand in killing (i.e. murdering?) one person in order to save the lives of others in any fundamental way. Just a manner of making the choice seem or feel more ethical, in an effort to make the dilemma more challenging.
Interesting stuff.
