Are you sure? Putting your life and that of another in danger seems
likely to be deemed sinful, even though the act without the risk
would be regarded as meritorious (feeding your family a nice freshly
cooked chicken contrasted with feeding them a contaminated fowl). But
it depends on how many layers of bullshit and triple-think the canon
lawyers are prepared to wrap themselves in.
