I prefer my family members to randomly-sampled people with similar traits. I would certainly not elect to sterilize or kill my family members so that they could be replaced with smarter, kinder, happier people.
Out of curiosity, in hypothetical scenarios:
Would you replace randomly-sampled people with smarter, kinder, happier people? (To clarify I hope the answer is no)
Would you say you would (or humans) prefer your family members over other randomly-sampled people, in a resource scarce situation and when you have the power to choose who to survive?
Context: I have no issue with this statement. I am asking because I have also been thinking about this human nature, and trying to find the pros and cons of it.
