It has always struck me that moral/ethical actions have more value if there is no punishment or reward involved - 'virtue for virtue's sake', so to speak.

Kinda.

But there is a reward in saving the child.
The same reward you get for returning a lost wallet or for picking up some litter or anything that gives you that warm fuzzy feeling of being a member of a social group.

A chemical pat on the brain for not being a socio/psychopath.

Chemical brain pats are fantastic.
