Yes. There are documented instances where a someone sacrifices themselves to attempt to save their child/SO. It’s illogical from an individual survival context and only makes sense given emotional attachment and religious belief. Look no further than suicide bombers or those who protest with self-immolation to see examples where some form of higher purpose convinces them to sacrifice themselves.
A machine would not see any logic to that and would only sacrifice itself if ordered. A programmer could approximate it, but machines don’t have motivations, they merely execute according to inputs.

If that person helped you survive, and then you turn around and leave them to die when the tables are turned, don’t you think that might be a little…rude? Maybe just a bit?

Absolutely, but if there was a death penalty for not doing so, I’d call it understandable not rude.
