As selfish as the people that want to keep
someone alive that is suffering terribly?

I don't think that was the implication, nor does it apply to this scenario.
There are other ways to go, if one chooses, without causing that much trauma to
unsuspecting people. The pilot, the youngster, and anyone else who witnessed
the aftermath didn't have a say in being part of that "blaze of glory." I think
that's what was being referred to as "selfish."
