^ Well said?

1-7: Yes
8: Probably not, this is the only one where I would rely on social good.
For all of these, do the objects die otherwise if I don't choose to save them because...
9: If I didn't "sacrifice" myself, and all the animals died... then everybody on the planet would probably die in the end too. So this question is flawed.

NO to all of them, its all about me and that's what I care about. I would have used the detonators on either boat if you get my drift...
