I will abide with no doubt at all. What does bitcoin for? when that important person will be dead. Bitcoin is just a money but life is worthless and if I can saved that person i will give all. That's it. The problem is I don't have those 5000 bitcoin even 1btc that's frustrating.

That is the same than ask how much would you give away for those you love? Surely we would try to negotiate first and find a reasonable solution for both parties (with the police trying to discover who is the kidnapper), but in the end if no alternatives would be agreed by the kidnappers I would have to give all the money they would be asking for... The life of those people you love value much more than any amount of BTCs in the world.
yes of course, it all becomes priceless if for a loved one, all will be given without having to count the amount. and I agree with you.

Of course, I will do it because bitcoin is useless when compared to a person's life.
lately there have been many crimes involving bitcoin. Such as ransomware that seizes all data inside the computer and requests ransom using bitcoins.

That is a very hard question dude... but it depends on the person that the person asks for, if it is from my family i would consider it, but if it is a friend or any other people that i dont threat to much, i wouldnt do it.
At the moment 5000 bitcoins are more than 23 million dollars, that is a huge amount and i dont think that there is an exchanger that is holding such that amount of money.

What if you had, let's say....5000 Bitcoins in your custody and suddenly someone demanded it as a ransom in exchange for someone very important to you, would you make the exchange?

The first question here is how did that kidnapper knew I have a lot of Bitcoins. Second, I don't need to exchange my bitcoins because he is demanding for bitcoin and not for fiat, either way, I will not find any exchanger that will be exchanging that massive number of bitcoins.
