- tomjen3 5y agoThis feels like the argument about weather the self-driving car should hit two grandmas or the guy in the car.

As for the answer to your question, just go for best wellbeing for the individual. Happier, healthier, less obese, fitter, non-smoking people are also a net benefit to society. Assuming the technology works at all.
