I would hardly consider the decision to NOT kill a person who is of no threat to anyone, a failure to take 'reasonable' action.
Unless of course, offering human sacrifices is considered a reasonable action.
What if it was between your family and an innocent person?
No. Without having prior knowledge of said dilemma, I honestly don't think offing some guy who just happens to be standing around in order to save a family member would even occur to me.
I know that I wouldn't expect that any of my family members should up and deliberately kill innocent bystanders because my life is being threatened. I'd actually be quite pissed to discover they'd done something like that on my behalf .
