Mark's decision is the more moral one.

When the entity doesn't get the answer it wants, it's first argument is quantitative.
"You would sacrifice millions to save 1 person?"
Once you make that argument, you are turning people into numbers. Into things.
You're no longer a hero. You're an accountant.
Your morality is based on a ledger. On balancing the books.
Once you start thinking like that, you are no longer the good guy.

Making decisions is bad because why?

I’d prefer a superhero to make decisions based on a system of morals than like, flipping a coin or whatever you’d have them do.
