I'm really no expert on super high altitude climbing but I'm not sure there are any climbers strong enough to help somebody stuck above 8,000m. It's just not possible. I can only think of two climber mounted rescues on Everest, none above camp 3. I mean, helicopters can't even fly at that altitude.
The way I see it is that no mountaineer should climb if they have the expectation that somebody else will risk their life to save them. You're on your own.

It's up to the Nepalese authorities how they want to do it, but I feel the whole Ayn Rand spirit could be firmly rooted out if one set one's mind to it. To get a climbing permit should involve entering into some sort of a syndicate with legal obligations to carry extra oxygen, radios etc in case of emergencies. You could only enter the syndicate if you have the strength to support a fellow climber with injuries. There could be legal obligations to abandon your summit attempt if you saw a person in distress, and potential criminal persecution if you continue to the top after encountering a dying climber like Ms Shuttlesworth admitted to doing.
As for bragging rights, I think having taken part in such high pressure team work would be much more admirable.
The wikipedia article on David Sharp has plenty of details. There is a lot of truth in the argument that he brought his misfortune on himself, so I have some understanding towards those who effectively declined to help him, or only offered a few minutes worth of consolation before moving on. But it is also a fact that a man sat dying for hours while up to 40 other climbers passed right by him. I reckon it is a disgrace to us all that this phenomenon exists in its current state.
