Imagine jumping in to pull the lever but your clone copy just decides to do differently.
Then who tried to save you and who let you die?
Not really a clone if the neurons suddenly are in different states
So if your clone decides not to pull the lever… are you equally guilty? Would you also have decided not to pull the lever at the critical moment?
What if getting close enough allows you to realize the people on the tracks are Musk, Bezos, et al?
