[Avodah] Ethical questions

[Rich, Joel]

Murder is yehareg vaal yaavor based on logic (San 74a - who says your
blood is redder).

Question 1 - based on this logic if the 3rd party says he will kill both
reuvain and shimon if reuvain won't kill shimon, does the result change?

Question 2 - how do those who understand the mishnah at the end of
horiyot as saying you save a man before a woman hold if reuvain was told
to kill sarah (how does blood red differ from saving based on who has
more mitzvot? -or why is passive vs. active different logic if end
result is same?)
