But
start by thinking life as having purpose(s)other than the continuance or pleasure of
biological functions.


Of course, evolution, as I understand it, is concerned only with continuance of the species.

If you can then imagine keeping someone

Are you suggesting that for this person death at this time may be their purpose in life,and that therefore saving their life is defeating their purpose? Am I getting the point? I want to understand the point before I contemplate it.
