In theory I would only kill one to save the many if I could kill the one in a less painful way than any of the many I saved would suffer had I failed to save them. I never aggregate suffering between conscious creatures (and I do believe this is the major mistake that utilitarianism makes) due to the reality of the consciousness barrier.
The way I like to put it is: Every person is their own little world.
