Good reasoning! I'll make it clear that there's no chance for any anomaly occur, what is presented is how the situation will play out with no chance of divergence.

Considering your answer then and out of the context of this thought experiment, would you say there is a moral difference between killing someone and letting them die? An example for this could be is there a difference between:

A) A doctor letting someone who is terminally ill die rather prolong their lives agains their wishes

and

B) The doctor euthanising them to an easily painless death if asked? One is killing and the other is letting die.

One is letting die, the other is killing.
