If I choose C, do they know? I'd probably do that if it just sort of worked out that only John died (this way the remaining wouldn't feel super guilty).

what? you are so concerned with minimizing the amount of life lost that you'll force death upon an unwilling party rather than allow people their self-chosen equity of .03(death)+.97(5 million)? the employees would feel guilty about you choosing C, sure, but you hiding that fact from them does not make the cause of what would be their guilt (that John was killed, and by your choice) any less appalling.

It is my understanding that John has agreed to a 3% chance at dying.
