It's funny that you mentioned the first scenario because that one of the exact reasons why government emergency services exist; you still bear the cost but your physical safety is much more likely to be assured.
- Lawtonfogle 11y agoSo sometimes we find that bearing the full cost, including the cost to safety, to be too great but we find a solution with a different cost (maybe not always lower as there are multiple dimensions of cost) that we are willing to enforce on people. But even given emergency services, there are still limits where they are unable to provide help. And in those cases, while we are free to judge a person regardless of what they choose, we do not force them to render aid.
