When The Trolley Problem Meets Infinite Series
The classic trolley problem just got a mathematical nightmare upgrade!

So your ethical dilemma is: kill infinitely many people but create "negative half a person" (mathematical absurdity), or do nothing? It's what happens when philosophers let mathematicians design their thought experiments. Even Hilbert's Hotel wasn't this sadistic.
