Yeah, go ahead and have extra-genocide. I'm sure everyone being harmed appreciates that your maintaining your morals by instead doing nothing.

In the trolley problem you get a choice to pull the lever or not. Choosing not to is still a choice. In this one you can choose to divert the trolley to kill a fraction of the people, or choose to keep the trolley on course where it'll kill the people on that other track and a bunch of others. Make your choice. You don't get out of making a choice by abstaining. That's still a choice.
