Legality vs Morality

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBdfcR-8hEY&t=592s
Is it right to save one person and have five end up dying or is it right to have one person die if it means five survive. This is a question which is asked in the video so that you really think about what you consider to be more morally correct than the other. I think that it depends on the situation such as the sort of person/status they have. Say it was a scientist who had found a way to cure cancer, then maybe it would be more acceptable to have five people die. I see it working the other way too like what if the one person that dies, already has something that prevents them from living much longer or if they're okay with giving himself to save five others. So I sort of think that it really depends on the situation and all the details to do with it, but I generally don't favour having someone sacrificed to save another. Of course, it's a lot different to save five people and I'm quite conflicted :)
