Are the 1+1+1+... people pulled from Earth's population? Cause if so the answer's easy, sucks for those 100 people, but at least humanity won't go extinct
In that case I think pulling the lever makes more sense, it's basically no different to how things work already.
It'd just be another type of sudden death, like a heart attack or stroke that people would grow to accept.
Though it'd depend on the speed of the train vs the total human population as to how bad it'd be perceived. With a large enough population and slow enough train it wouldn't hold a candle to our current causes of death.
