The real question is what happens at the end? Assume every person is in line to deal with the trolley. What happens after everyone has had the chance to pass? If there’s no next person to pass it to, does the last person not get a choice?
Though that’s overthinking it a bit:
Of course at some point there will be a crazy person who would be like “lol let’s kill everyone” and odds are this crazy person will be after it has passed the 33 or so people it will take for the number to get past the population of the world. So with the existence of crazy people in mind, yeah kill the 1.
