This took me a while but...
Be killed. People are natural born cowards with an in-built desire for self-preservation but it's an illusion of choice. we're going to die anyway- so better to die free and on our own terms with a conception of "self" worth preserving.
If someone is killing you.....that would not be your terms.
If someone is killing your family.....that would not be your terms.
It may seem commendable to die and not having raised your hand to resist....but....
that is what I regard as having no sense of self.....at all.
so you really think you're not worth saving?
Maybe I don't get your sense of 'self worth'.......
I mean "be killed" whilst fighting back. I'm a pacifist at heart and hate violence, but I'm much rather have a gun to be sure. my sense of self is worth defending but chances of survival are slim. Death is a question of "when" not "if". That's where the self-worth kicks in. screw the odds; my freedom is worth fighting for.

I have no idea.
I have not been in any of the above situations.
I do know that I have no problem killing in defense of myself, my family, my friends...
Not so sure about my dog, never having been in the situation, I do not know.
As for being an assassin...
I would like to say I would decline.
However, I can think of a situation or two that I would.
