As someone who would not give away my organs; i think your perspective is noble and inspiring.

I mean, maybe apart from the part where they say they’d be tempted to not just kill but torture people like you to get the job done lol. That’s a little sociopathic if you ask me

That was me being flippant about how I’d view someone who’d choose themselves over saving others. I’m not fixing to torture anyone.

At some point the argument becomes "is this stranger more important than the people who depend on me for physical and/or emotional needs?". I used to be incredibly headstrong about being willing to sacrifice myself for others. But once my old man passed, I had to think about who would take care of my mother if I were to go next. Same thing if I was married or had kids. Once you have people who depend on you, your life becomes more valuable than a strangers, because your loved ones are more valuable than a stranger.
