Quite a Conundrum

Consider this: you are driving down a very steep hill in a large pickup truck. The street is very narrow and there are cars parked (poorly) on both sides, so there is barely room for two cars to drive in opposite directions at the same time. On your right hand side, there is a little old nun, who looks like she is about 107, carrying a bag of groceries, no doubt to feed the children at the orphanage. She is about 300 feet ahead of you. Suddenly, on your left hand side, a car full of 4 young, beautiful women, whose combined age could not be more than 86, darts out of their driveway. The nun and the car are both the same distance away from you now, about 20 feet. There is no way to go around, since there are cars parked on both sides of the street (and for the sake of this "puzzle" those cars all happened to be filled with infants). You are traveling at a rate of about 50m.p.h. and you are driving a full-ton pickup (do the math). You only have a split second to made a decision, either to swerve right and completely dismember the nun, spewing gore and body parts all over the road, or to swerve right, plow into the small Suzuki Esteem, causing it to roll down the hill several times, horribly disfiguring all the the girls, damning them to live the rest of their lives as hideous creatures, and guaranteeing that none of them will ever be loved by anyone besides their own mothers.

My question to you, dear readers, is: Which is worse?


Another point to ponder: Is it worse to kill one 400-pound man, or two 200-pound men?
