*Thinks* There similar in a way... but in other ways they're very very different. Ed is almost selfish in a way in his absolute focus on his brother. He's willing to do just about anything and everything for Al. Whereas while Miles DOES have people who he would give almost everything for... the only thing you can't give for your hearts desire is your heart. And Mile's heart is in far larger, more abstract things than Ed's and, in the end, he would sacrifice anyone for Barrayar, whereas Ed... I think (and it has been a while since I followed the manga) if it was a choice between Amstis and a sure and certain cure for Al, Ed would let Amestris go up in flames.
