I would start digging a grave for the loved one that's about to die.

You're adding conditions to the quandary now.

no that's fair. i think it's best to consider this blinded so you don't know who's on the track and who's not or consider it a scenario where all your loved ones matter to you equally (e.g. a group of friends)


Now that is tough!

Yes im sorry it should have been in the original, ill add it now
I'd say to myself 'What are ALL the facts about this ludicrously unlikely situation?’ It's so unlikely that it arguably doesn't matter what you do. Your life from here on is but merely in the slipstream of this elaborately concocted surreal situation. Chances are, me and the other guy with the switch are mentally ill or murderous and have set up this whole situation. The men in the white coats are probably on their way, a police marksman in the bushes.
