If you meant to ask about the *permissibility* of such exchanges,
it seems clear to me that it is permitted. The first example is that
of Yehudah. In general, while one is not required to be moser nefesh
to save someone else, one is permitted to do so; why should this sort
of case be an exception to that rule?
