The line between deciding that a particular level of harm is acceptable, and accepting it by default, is blurry. And yet allowing, through inaction, a human being to come to harm is not functionally or morally different than deliberately harming them. And so we wash our hands of responsibility by telling ourselves we didn't do anything. But who are we fooling?
