since you believe there is no afterlife?

Yes. Would you ever risk your life if you didn't think there was a Heaven to go to just in case you didn't make it?

depends on the person in general. I mean, jsut because there's no afterlife doesn't mean this one ceases to be when I'm gone, if the world keeps on without me there would be situations where conceivably I would consider dying for someone or something else. To save my family for example, it would keep them going in this world even if there isn't one after, it creates a lasting impact on the world I would not be prepared to let slip away.

Family and friends and possibly a complete stranger depending on what frame of mind I was in.

Sure. My husband and most certainly my children are worth dying for. That's because these are real, living entities.
An imaginary sky pixie is not worth dying for.

Yes. My husband, my sister, and my nephew. Possibly also my stepdad but I'd have to be in the situation to say yes or no to that.

Yes. Family members, etc...
If I was caught in a raging fire and I could only save myself or an infant, I would save the infant.

So you would only sacrifice yourself for another because you will live on afterword? Makes Atheist a bit more altruistic, doesn't it?
