Understandable for sure and rational from a genetic standpoint.
One has to accept ( as I do ) that self interest guides every decision even tho the resulting outcome may appear selfless.
We each construct a value hierarchy and in my view a lot is contextual.
For instance you won't normally eat rotted food but would if you were starving.
Ethical dilemma's like this can be very tricky to parse.
Social mores and the resulting morality often conflicts with personal ethics which each person has to construct on their own.
Some get lazy and and just pick up some gideon guide book....or a scientology bit of whackery.
