I thought this was all assuming that the person would know that their giving up their life.
Anyway, for the egoism thing, it's related to the notion that there are no (completely) selfless good deeds. You wouldn't do something nice for someone else for absolutely no reward, even if the reward is feeling good about yourself.
Edit: I just checked wikipedia, and apparently I was confusing ethical egoism with psychological egoism. Sorry about that.
