Sorry, I wrote that comment carelessly! I wanted to look into whether the framing is actually deontological.
In your example, they both had the same ends (donating to AMF) and different means (having malaria as a kid or trying to be effective). If I’m correct, you were saying that because it was the means that distinguished the two cases, deontological framing was being used.
But in my example, they both had the same means (pushing someone in front of a trolley) to get to different ends (‘saving’ one life or killing one life). And in this case, it was the ends that distinguished them. So I was wondering if deontological framing was actually being used.
