In The Pale Moonlight-Would you do it?

[Durek]

To some, morality, which, granted, is a relative term, is more important than survival.

I don't know that I'd even be able to bring myself to kill one other person to ensure my survival, much less deceive an entire foreign power into a war that I know will cost countless lives.

But hey, it's not like Sisko had to face the children of any of the Romulan soldiers who died for his lie.

Me personally, I'd kill in a second to ensure my survival. In my not so humble judgement, only a fool would not do that.
