If you are going to elaborate further on why this post is pointless just envision a situation where there is a simple choice between your life and another persons.
Just like that.
End the life of whoever is forcing this choice on you.
And if you want to bring up a scenario where one must die (like a single parachute), then again context matters more than the question. Like I said, people jump on grenades to save their comrades and die as heroes. If people know your sacrifice, that matters in the equation. If it serves a greater good , that matters. If it's my son and me and one parachute, its a no-brainer. If its.... etc. Really, if its two guys one parachute and nothing else, flipping a coin is as good an answer as any. You have to live with yourself. But if the other guy can do more good than you and you admire him, or is an *******, obviously that might matter. This question is so situtaional that a simple "him" or "me" is meaningless...
