  If a group of Yidden are chas veshalom asked to hand over one person in order to save the many , 

  could one person of that group volunteer themselves ( so they are essentially choosing themself as they want to save others but essentially that is suicide ) or is that assur according to Rambam or as brought down in halocha ?

    Yes, they may. See Taanis 18b for an incredible story about "harugei Lud."

  Is it a chilul Hashem if an identifiable yid

  Litters. Or is he just a jitterbug? 

  Conversely, if an identifiable yid helps an old lady across the  street is he doing a kiddush Hashem, or is he just a  good samaritan?

  Fascinating video showing distances telescopically and microscopically, made in 1977.  Related to earlier chapters of the planets, etc.

  Perhaps the nachas is a being that only takes and does not give.  I heard that it is the only animal that does not excrete its waste.  I don't know if that is true, it's hard to un derstand, perhaps it's a mashal - I don't know - but an interesting concept.   Like we've been learning the klipa does not have chiyus of its own.
