I understand its hypothetical. I'm just following the logical implication of the hypothetical situation.
- williamdclt 7y agoWhat is your point then? That people won't go after "patient 0" because there's legal repercussions? I think we all know that's naive
- matz1 7y agoYes, I too, like everyone else, have a trait that a many people would hate and if murder is legal, I would be dead already but I'm not so worry about it because fortunately murder is illegal and carry severe punishment. I understand its not perfect but at least significantly lower my concern.
- lozenge 7y agoYes, people do fear situations like that, regardless of their actual prevalence. And that fear could prevent them from installing such an app.
- matz1 7y agoMy point is the fear is overblown.
- Operyl 7y agoUnfortunately, when you add severe mental health disorders into the mix you can't really follow this "logical implication" path you seem so hellbent on. Add to that the fact that we as a society tend to not treat these problems as an unfortunate disease (but treatable), and put down this part of our population as if they weren't humans too doesn't help either.
- matz1 7y agoSure legal repercussion and severe punishment is not perfect, nothing is, but it does significantly lower risk of getting murdered. And of course we should keep trying to attack and fix the mental health issue itself.
