If possible you should read the Science Fiction short story Cold Equations by Tom Godwin. Although slightly dated it is relevant to your question.
The available technology causes a crisis wherein the girl ( a stowaway) in the story has to make a decision as to whether she walks to her death voluntarily or causes the death of her spaceship pilot, herself and a number of planetary colonists.
The decision is made with no emotion because it is dictated by the technology.
