only if it involved saving someone that i actually care about, but otherwise, no. i would only accept going down in a blaze of gunfire and giant explosions.

Well depends on what the premise is, really. What kind of situation would logically prove that I should be killed? If it were a death sentence eg I murdered someone in cold blood, then I guess I would accept death because it's what I deserve.

Yes.
Logically speaking, what does "should" mean? I think that it means that their is an underlying purpose in my death. For example, Hitler should be killed to end the war, or I should work to make money.
If I received a greater benefit for allowing myself to die than I would from allowing myself to live, then I should die. And for my sake, I hope my irrationality wouldn't interfere with myself allowing myself to die.
