What you're arguing is only made possible through conscience. A red-back spider doesn't offer himself up to a black widow because he wants to die, he allows himself to get eaten so that he can spend more time inseminating her. All creatures follow their drive regardless of the consequences. We humans, as a whole species do the very same.
