No, I wouldn't and my reasons are twofold.

1) The obvious, guilt. Guilt is selfish, despite the fact that on the surface it could be confused with the possibility that I am too moral to kill someone to save my life. In reality, I think, I just couldn't live with the guilt.

2) This is more subtle: my nature and human nature would simply refuse to believe there were no other options of survival, I think.
