This is Contractualism. If anyone wants to learn more about this moral philosophy, you can read Scanlon's What We Owe to Each Other, or for a better time, watch The Good Place.

More generally, this is the philosophy of deontology, or the study of duty/obligations if anyone is interested in seeing the whole eco system

The Good Place taught me that the solution to this problem is to let the cart run loose and kill the guy pulling the lever.
