Your obligation is to stay on the gurney since an innocent life depends on your doing so.

This is so simple, so common sense. Only in this post-Christian era could otherwise decent people be so deceived as to think otherwise.

Why? I have not taken that responsibility on myself. It is unfortunate that the other person has to die, but I have no moral duty to help them.

Your logic is the groundwork for all socialist and communist programs run by government. Following your logic, if the government were to leave a comatose person in your living room and told you to take care of them, you would have a moral obligation to do so.

I disagree. Such an obligation easily is used by socialists and communists alike to require people to give of themselves in order to make the lives of other people better. It is the basis of the redistributive income tax and every welfare program.

Without my affirmative consent to be placed on the gurney, I can get off of it anytime I want.
