Depends on who it is. If it were my granddaughter, wife, son, daughter...yes. If it were some "yokel" on the street...maybe...maybe not. A lot depends on the situation.
I don't want to sound elitist but there comes a time when you must place a certain value on you own life. If you are a husband and parent for example, how would your family suffer if you died trying to intervene in a dangerous situation involving a stranger?
This is a moral dilemma and there are probably no right or wrong answers.
