This seems somewhat analogous to me to a situation where war or natural disaster destroys your home and kills most of your friends and family but you escape and have the opportunity to start afresh in a new and unfamiliar culture. Now that obviously sounds like a pretty unpleasant situation and vastly less preferable than if the war or disaster never occurred but I would still prefer to survive than to die. I can imagine that some people might feel differently when presented with that choice however.
