Thanks @jadams2k18 for this intriguing reply..
To be honest, the intensity of your answers left me startled and speechless..
Especially, I loved the last part of it..
If I had to choose between the 5 children and 5 of my close friends................
haven't really thought about that but, If I really had to......with no other option....then may be.., I would save neither...
thanks

There's no right answer. It all depends on a number of factors and conditions. Obviously, you can't stop doing anything, since the very fact of doing nothing would also kill people and obviously it is an option you would take.
Most people save all five people.
Another person, Judith Jarvis Thomson, decided to change the dilemma and got different answers. In this one, there is a train that is going to kill 5 people, but the difference is that you don't drive the train. The only way for you to save the 5 people is to push a fat guy who will fall on the track and derail the train. Obviously, you will be killing one person.
In this experiment most didn't dare push the fat one.
Will you?
Cheers

As you said earlier there's no right answer.. i think there's no right option shortlisted in the question too.. :)
Why would he (Judith Jarvis Thomson) give only one option where there could be altleast one alternative more to it..? Can't we just save those 5 by sliding a big stone, instead of a fat guy, infront of the train or by something else.. :)
