That's a good idea. I wonder if anyone has done a trolley-problem survey, phrasing it in the terms, "Would you rather live in a society where people would do X or Y?"
For one data point, I'd rather live in a world where people made 'push the fat man' decisions. As per Lightwave's comment, if the likelihoods are not skewed, I have a 5/6 chance of being on the tracks, and a 1/6 chance of being the fat man. I can't in good conscience choose the option that doesn't maximise my chances of survival.
