How much is 1 life worth?

Would you cause the death of an innocent person to save the live of another person?
How about causing the death of an innocent for the 10 lives?
20 lives?
100 lives?
1000 lives?



Say you are walking on a track and you realised the approaching train's brakes are faulty. If you push the friend next to you onto the track, you can stop the train and save the passengers' lives.
Would you sacrifice an innocent life for the 10 passengers? 100? 1000?

How do you judge the worthiness of lives? by quantity? by how close you are to him?
