Possibly not, but only if it would be immoral for your victims to refuse to cure your loved one.

If they'd rather cure someone else, or do something else with the cure that a reasonable person could expect to be just as beneficial (and presumably this would still require saving someone's life in some way), then you'd have a moral obligation to help them to mitigate your crimes.
The point is, morally you don't really deserve a choice. The only way you aren't morally obligated to give up the cure is if you are morally obligated to override an obviously immoral choice made by your victims.

I'd torture more people for fun after saving the friend or family member.

So, like... using medical research acquired by Nazi scientists during the Holocaust? *NM*

I can't think of many ethical considerations of any sort that would trump dying family member. *NM*

This is a total no-brainer, as per above responses. Star Trek clearly needs better moral dilemmas.

I think it would be unethical to let someone else die to protect your moral values *NM*
