Here's a hypothetical question an ex-friend put to me about a year or two ago.
"If I needed your help to bury/ hide a dead body would you help me?"
His premise is that a true friend would help. My reply was a true friend wouldn't put a friend in that situation.
If it were me I'd say. "Listen don't ask me any questions. Can I borrow a shovel?"
After explaining why I wouldn't help him he said, "But you know me!" I replied, "I thought I did."

Shouldn't you just be happy you are not the body?

A variation on the above is 'A friend will help you move, a good friend will help you move a body'
I have a couple of friends who would do it for me and I in return would do it for them. For me there is no moral or ethical dilemma.
'There is no try, only do' That was my bad Yoda impression
