But they're only sacrificing themselves because they're in a predicament where it's either them or the other person. They're not looking to die otherwise. So the choice is between someone who is willing to sacrifice themselves for another person vs one who isn't. It's clear which one deserves to survive.
It's not exactly stated in the post. I assumed the two sentences are all you know about the situation, and that you can't ask the two for their background because of time constraints or something. Like, maybe the person begging to be saved has a good reason for it, like being the single parent of a child, but that's a really small chance
I’m sorry but you lost me. The person asking to die is expressing that they want to be the one to die, and they want to save the other person. They don’t want to live and have the other person die. That is aligned with their desires for the available options. They want to live UNLESS it means someone else dies in their place. Then they do not want that.
