There's an old Talaxian expression: "When the road before you splits in two, take the third path."

That could be misinterpreted to mean “turn around and go back the way you came”

Which would be a valid solution to the trolly problem...

Hmm I feel the urge to tuvix...

That's a different story all together. In that case, there really were only 2 options and one was clearly morally wrong so Janeway had to do exactly that

Both choices were morally dubious. Tuvok and Nelix wanted to be alive just as much as Tuvix

There's an old saying in Tennessee (I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee) that says, take the first path, shame on... shame on you. The third path- you can't get fooled again.
