Did Anscombe think the DDE could justify pulling the lever?

Post Body

I'm familiar with Anscombe's argument against Truman and her criticism of him makes fine sense to me, but occasionally in papers about the Trolley Problem I see notes suggesting that Anscombe may have thought that the DDE did not justify pulling the lever in the non-looping trolley problem.

Is this reading common? If so, can someone point me toward a paper by her (or someone else) or a summary of this kind of reading which might deny that the DDE permits pulling the lever in the non-looping trolley problem?
