Being humane and survival rarely go hand in hand. Tough decisions need to be made and sometimes people have to die for others to succeed and live. I don't disagree with the fact that it sucks, but is it not better for the majority of society to survive and be able to actually live their lives? This is going off the deep end, but think about it this way... If some god of your choosing came to you today and said "I'm going to give you two choices and you have to choose one. Choice #1: I kill 0.04% of the population of your country, and the majority of those deaths will be the elderly and those who are already sick. Choice #2: I will cut that rate of death down to slightly less, possible in half, but will destroy businesses, the educational system, and put people out on the streets. People will lose their lively hood, suicide rates will go up 600%, and smoking rates among people will go up as a result from the stress in their lives. Which would you choose?
