It's the trolley problem. Hes already killed millions, leave him alive, he'll likely kill more.
Kill one blobbo, save countless other blobbos.

It's the trolley problem

No it's not, if the single person was a rapist or like a health insurance CEO I'd pull that lever and take all the survivor's out for Margaritas to celebrate lol

Which is a perfectly fine solution to the trolley problem. Instead of pulling the lever, you actually get up and stop the trolley once and for all.

The trolley problem is a challenge because there isn't an inherent net positive to killing the singular person other than saving a few more. In this situation, you're killing someone who's actively harming others on a grand scale.
