But if you're concerned about others outside of your immediate bubble, maybe the life cost would be more than you'd be willing to accept.
The fact of the matter is that your post is 100% conjecture.
Empathy is a two way street. Society can only do so much to minimize the impact of preventable illness.
I’ll be the first to admit I’m not as healthy as I could be. If I followed evidence I should be a vegan (or close to it) and never drink again, but I accept those risks.
To me it seems very self-absorbed to knowingly live an unhealthy lifestyle and then demand society destroy itself to avoid the consequences of previous decisions.
I think there is a middle way that can be followed, locking up healthy people and children isn’t part of that.
