I know yours is the morally correct answer, but I would, if my two options were limited to just those specified in the question (which would never be true). Because if I lived in a world where people, both collectively and individually, didn't care enough about me that they were willing for me to slowly starve to death, I would owe them nothing. That said, I could/would never actually kill someone - I don't even kill insects (excluding wasps - we have an ongoing feud).
