yes that's a very nuanced analysis
I do agree with a sort of utilitarian or consequentialist approach, but it needs to encompass a very wide set of consequences, not just the lives lost and saved in the narrow sense in your example, but how society would react if this would be the norm. It's difficult to say for certain with these things, as you said they are morally gray and complex

Oh yeah, no, I didn't mean to point out just that one metric. Because of the time and space constraint, I only stated the first thing that came to my head. The complex nature of it that I mentioned entails the very wide set of consequences that need to be considered. I'm sorry if it came out that I was just looking at that one metric. It's just one of many things to consider, I just wanted to point out a sort of contrarian thought as the representative to all those other scenarios.
