Imagine if some psychopathic bastard holds you at gunpoint and forces you to choose one of two options : 

1/ you should curbstomp your neighbor's infant

2/ you'll be forced to watch as he curbstomps all your neighborhood's children (including the one you'd curbstomp if you do 1/)

If you know that 2/ will inevitably occur if you refuse 1/, it's probably a good deed, even if it's morally ambiguous in the extreme, to proceed and do 1/

The reason is that the infant is curbstomped either way, but by choosing 1/ you'll spare many other children from curbstomping.

Do you have a scenario that isn't batshit and loaded with extra helpings of bias?
