I don't really think that this question is specific enough to really say one way or the other ...

Most people would have no problems about commanding one group of soldiers to attack an outpost knowing that 1 soldier would die in the process if they knew that not attacking that outpost would result in 10 other soldiers dying. In contrast, few people would agree to allow a healthy individual to be killed so that their organs could be harvested to save the lives of 10 sick people.
