When so many moral areas seem gray today, there are some which need to be clearly marked with a big red line.
Just my opinion.
Although well intentioned, these notions of moral duty will cause you to get taken advantage of every time. There are always plenty of people willing to take your place in that lifeboat if you let them.
You're trying to assert a positive moral value to self-sacrifice. Isn't it convenient how the person who sacrifices himself is never around to see the consequences of what he's done?
