I was using that example to define an identification, not a morally ambiguous situation.
If you want to plug an identification into a morally ambiguous situation, just say that one of the two people who die is someone you already know.
But I gave you an example of a morally ambiguous situation already. Simply, there is no information included to make any discrimination at all unless you know something about the people.
I would further argue that we can never really have enough information to make moral decisions except in certain specific cases. For instance, if you save one person and not another, who knows what the person you saved will do in the future compared to the one who died? We simply can't know the end results of ambiguous situations.
And if you are not particularly on the side of humans as a species, all bets are off.
