Ooo, this is brain-taffy!
You are there. You are aware that these situations are unfolding. You are not responsible for these situations unfolding in the first place. But it can be proven that if you choose not to interact, more people would die than if you got your hands dirty.
Do you become responsible because you were in a position to be able to reduce deaths?
And can’t this be said of all life-and-death situations, meaning that if we’re aware that people are dying and don’t take action when we are able to, in order to reduce the numbers that die, aren’t we responsible?
And if this is the case, why is healthcare still private in the USA?
