I have been thinking about this question for a few days now. I know that I would not allow myself to be beaten, I would defend myself. In real life I would go for disabling my attacker, not really killing him unless there was no way to disable him without killing him. If I new that defending myself would result in my attacker's death (as the question assumes) I think I would still defend myself. The starkness of the example is what gave me pause.
