I think that all depends on your personal moral obligations. Some would think you do, but that doesn't mean much in the shadow of what you personally hold yourself to.

Mind if I ask what's got you thinking about this?

Has there been a time you didn't help somebody? And did you feel obligated to by your own morals?
