It is completely untenable to hold a position that I can be responsible for ensuring that another person lives regardless of the consequences to myself.

I'm not really sure how you arrived at this position. It seems axiomatic to me, which means I can accept or reject it at my whim. Many, many animals (humans included) reject your position, and so it's hard to say if you are trying to be descriptive or proscriptive here and what justification you might have.
