I don't think I'm so different from others in that regard.

I agree. In a case of someone else's life or me and mine I vote for mine every time. Whatever sorry situation that brings someone else to the point of endangering my life it doesn't outweigh my desire to walk on the daisies versus pushing them up. Now in the case of taking a life without justification I just ain't built that way.
