"Allow them to remain uncaring. We don't have to help everyone. People must want to be helped." When people don't understand the implications or full ramifications then governments and lawmakers have to step in as they have a duty of care to protect citizens. It's one of the principal reasons for having government. There are any number of examples, regulating the use of poisons, putting protection fences around cliff top lookouts, specifying the breaking strain of elevator cables, aircraft compliance design, removing lead from petroleum, and so on. Unfortunately, governments have failed to act despite many warnings about these privacy matters. Incidentally, there's an uncanny parallel between this example of governments failing to act even when in presence of the facts and my last example. In 1923 when Thomas Midgley and cohorts—engine makers and petroleum companies—sought permission to put tetraethyllead in fuel governments already knew the dangers of lead poisoning. Not only did they ignore all scientific warnings about the dangers of using the additive but also they embraced Big Business and approved the move at the citizenry's great expense.
