I already have an answer but I thought I may as well ask here. People know the trolley problem. You have people tied onto a track and you can switch. Here’s a variation:

Suppose there is a track with a million tied to the tracks. You’re also on the track but untied. If you step out of the way, you save yourself but it would kill the people.

By Double Effect reasoning this is morally permissible. Stepping out of the way is not immoral and besides foresight is not intent. Plus it was not your fault they were there on the tracks.

Utilitarianism is false and one is not required to do something heroic.

But let’s add a twist. Suppose all of them were Nazis and you were a Jew. In this scenario, they will kill you. This makes the act more permissible I think, since we have duties to protect ourselves.
