So let me ask you a couple questions.
How would YOU cope with being dead?
How would YOU cope with a friend or loved one traveling with you being murdered and you can do nothing about it?
I think you'll find that a few sessions with a counselor and maybe a few months of anti-depressants will be much less traumatic then dying, being seriously injured or worse watching a friend or loved one die because of your inability to intervene.
Several years ago a friend and I where robbed at gunpoint ... as far as muggings go it went very smooth ... nobody was hurt and he even let us just give him the cash in our wallets (and my watch) but we got to keep our IDs, credit cards etc.
I still have the occasional bad dream about it, and I still to this day wish I would have just jumped the guy as soon as I saw the gun (I only lost $20 and a mid-line Seiko).
Had I killed the guy I seriously doubt I would have been any more "scared for life" then I am for doing nothing ... doing nothing sucks.
In addition, when you get to see the business end of someone elses gun its very difficult to think of them as a human ... to this day I could visit unspeakable evil upon the guy who robbed me and never feel bad about it.
