That's a lot like a question I was asked recently.

It was "would it be ethical to make use of the medical advancements made by the Nazi doctors during the holocaust"?
To me, I think it would be unethical not to use it. I mean, it was obtained using the worst means possible. However, if the medical knowledge was not used, it would, to me anyway, mean that those people died in vain.
And if it can be used to help others, would it be ethical to allow them to suffer?
I don't think so. But that's just me.

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*

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