The premise of the article is that we have done a good thing by preventing deaths. Is that set in stone? There is at least one difficult question not being factored in here.
Are those that are being saved from death truly being done a service? If the world is going to treat you like a tertiary class citizen, despite supposedly claiming to be a vestige of equality, and that system seems more intent on placating between pressure releases, instead of actually addressing the ills of perpetuating “the other”, is your suffering truly reduced by surviving the virus, only to have to live everyday knowing the system is implacable? Yes, I just stood on the third rail. Have at it....
Nothing personal, I promise. As I do find your frequent comments both enlightening, and entertaining.
Personally, I seem to opt for being 'anonymous'. Its just easier.
While reading your comment, I was trying to figure out just who you are. I might find you comment here interesting and laced with bitterness and cynicism if you were a minority. I might think you to be from a city from your comment about the 'third rail'. Also, I think that you are a young person whose parents are still alive, or older and time has passed since the death of your own parents.
Or...
You are a Philosopher. Maybe one tucked away in a library someplace.
