I'd do a lot of things that would be considered wrong if someone threatened a loved one. That's why they refer to that as "too close to the situation". That doesn't really effect right or wrong.
And yet... it's easy to stand from a distance and proclaim your idea of what's right and wrong for someone else's loved one when the potentially horrific consequences would be to someone else's life instead of your own.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
