If by jumping off a cliff, I can save the lives of 20 other people, then yes. I certainly should.

Really? Well, so long as you don't try to tell me I should jump off a cliff to save 20 other people then by all means go ahead. The moment you tried to extend that norm beyond yourself I would reject your attempt.
