Hypothetically speaking, if your death would save the life of one or more complete strangers that you know nothing about, how many people would need to be saved (if any) in order for you to give up your own life?

EDIT: Your death would be painless and instantaneous.

      How am I being hypocritical? I won’t take from others, but I won’t give my life for strangers. How is that hypocritical?

      I don’t know about hyprocritical, but it is rather selfish. Valuing human lives at zero just because you haven’t met them is quite extreme if you think about it. I don’t see how it is utilitarian either. Saving even 2 people at the cost of 1 is the most utilitarian thing to do.
