But... but... the article claims false moral dilemmas... ¿Why framing a innocent is better than a riot? ¿Why kill a healthy man is better to let die 5 ill of them? ¿Why charity ---oh my god--- why charity is better than the usual inherintance rule? Stop reading here.

If you think killing the healthy man is wrong, you probably don't agree with utilitarianism.
