    Got this from film - I am mother.

    If you were a doctor who had 5 patients who all needed different transplants or they would die and a 6th easily treatable patient arrived who was a match to the other 5, would you let the 6th patient die and give the relevant organs to the other 5 or would you save the 6th knowing that the other 5 would die.

    Supposed to be, 'do no harm' so you have to treat the 6th patient and there's no guarantee transplants will work anyway so you could be letting 6th die for no reason

    Exactly. Doctors cant refuse to treat easily cured people and hope that if they die it allows them to treat others.

    So clearly the second option for me.

    Agreed. It was in a sci fi film I Am Mother.
