Interesting.
We say that you are not allowed to kill one person to save another. The Gemara uses the phrase “who says his blood is redder [i.e. that his life is more valuable]?” This applies even if the one to be saved is a true tzaddik and the one to be killed is a true rasha — nonetheless, we don’t say “kill the rasha to save the tzaddik.”
And yet, this person has decided that he knows that R. Eliyashiv (who should live and be well) is more valuable than himself. Apparently, he must have some insight into Heavenly matters to decide that a year of R. Elyashiv’s life is worth more than a year of his own.
