I am not extremely religious, but wouldn't Jesus dying on the cross for humanities sin count? Sounds pretty selfless to me.

The sacifice of Jesus on the cross for all the sins of humanity past present and future. How many people you know would give up there life for someone living 2006 years later?

In recent history I would say the act of a mother giving birth. She
knows that it may be dangerous to her and she is committing herself for 18 years of work raising you , sometimes a lot longer

Pat Tillman, the pro football player who joined the Army
and passed up millions of dollars. Only to die in action.
A very sad thing and huge sacrifice.

I'm not Christian so I'm not going with the Jesus thing. I'd say just about anything Mother Teresa did in India could qualify.

Truman dropping the bomb even though it meant horrible political and other problems for his career. He decided to save 1 million U.S. lives instead of doing the politically correct thing.
