kill your best friend and $1 million

Your own life is irreplaceable and finite; choosing survival is the most honest expression of the value of a single human life
A million dollars invested wisely could still produce meaningful good in the world—survival does not preclude contributing to others
You cannot do anything to help anyone once you are dead; staying alive preserves your capacity for future action

be killed and end world hunger

Ending world hunger would save hundreds of millions of lives; no personal cost is disproportionate to that scale of impact
Sacrificing yourself for the collective good reflects the highest moral principle and would be the most meaningful act a single person could take
