I completely disagree. Your moral obligation to your own family trumps that of your obligation to society at large. Even if you could argue that it should not be so, it is in practice.

The harm/benefit to society would have to be much larger for even the most altruistic people to give it more weight than the harm/benefit to their own family.

That’s not the case here.
