Have you read Caspar Hare's "Should we wish well to all?" - http://web.mit.edu/~casparh/www/Papers/CJHareWishingWell.pdf - I think it's the original source for both the Suitcases trolley cases and the medicine case you discuss here! Really great paper.

Also, I'm thinking of citing your paradox of deontology for a paper. Is it forthcoming in some journal, or unpublished?

As yet unpublished (currently under review).

I have not--I'll check it out.

There's a slight typo in the article - in the numbered list just before the "people in suitcases" section, item 1 should have the word "shouldn't" instead of "should".
