I think and you can't ever know until you are in that situation, I would do for my kids, nobody else, as Marc Said, i doubt i could live with the pain of not having tried to save them.

If i would do for anybody else, it would be probably more of an instinctive thing without time to think about it, but doubt it anyway, my self preservation instinct is too strong.

I guess for everybody it depends on the situation, for example I have a car accident with my friends, i get out of the car, a fire starts, I would try to get them out of the car probably not thinking that it could explode and kill me too. But if i see one of those friends about to be shoot by an stranger, i wouldn't put my body in between knowing it would end my life.

Depends on the situation. If it was a robbery, and two guys were killing folks and I could escape since I was hidden. I'd probably knock the gun loose from one guy with a tackle knowing the other would probably kill me. Hoping the hostages would attack the guy as he was shooting me. If it was a fire, hell no. Don't think I could see how I could rescue someone logically but maybe I could. If a person told me I could save the person in the fire, I'd think I was being pranked. If my nephew was in the building, than yes. Other than that no. When it comes to pushing someone out of the way of a car to save them, then yes to almost all people. The possibilities are endless, but I'll stop there.
