No doubt about it, I'd save my own child. In fact, I'll go one better, I'd purposely kill another if it meant saving my child. There's no morality about it, in my opinion. It's my child, she has my blood flowing in her, she comes before everyone else in this world. I'm very well aware that every other parent who posts on here feels the exact same way, too.
Now, as far as moral obligation to government...what moral obligation to government? As I understand it, our government has a moral obligation to us, not the other way around.
