1 I don't want to hurt anyone, especially my family.
2 After the speech I gave him, he won't touch a window, let alone climb out of one.
3 I'd like to thank one other person, without whom this wouldn't have been possible ~~without~~.
4 The brother who I dislike the most is him?
5 He's the only person who has bought me a gift, but whom I didn't buy a gift for ~~is she/her~~.
(or "He's the only person who has bought me a gift, but I didn't buy a gift for him" - I like this better)

"Who" and "whom" are interesting. I read an article about this a few weeks ago. The author suggested that people seldom use "whom", but sometimes it just sounds better. I suggest doing a Google search for "who and whom" and find some articles giving different opinions on usage.
