Importance Of Saving Lives By Saving Life

Saving Lives By Sacrificing Lives: An Unacceptable Option
“Security is mostly a superstition.” - Helen Keller. Based on what Helen Keller said, security services should not be allowed. They can cause risks to become bigger and sometimes even take lives. For example, since 1953, there have been over 230 deaths on Mount Everest. This could have been due to terrible weather, but it also could have been because the climbers were not as experienced or as careful as one might have hoped. People put themselves in risky situations on a daily basis, and when things go wrong, they call in the rescue workers. These rescue workers should not have to put themselves in danger in order to save someone who should not have put themselves in that risky situation

If they decided to take a life threatening risk, if it comes to the pint that there are any.ey should face the consequences so they should not be provided with safety services, as they already knew that the risk they were taking was life-threatening. For example, the interview “Helicopter Rescues Increasing On Everest”, the host Robert Siegel asks Nick Heil if “part of the issue is that these rescue choppers give climbers a false sense of security, and that makes them more willing to take risks”. This is indeed true, as risk-takers might get a strong feeling of over-confidence if this security is given to them, encouraging them to take more risks. Life-threatening risks should not be encouraged, as they can be deathly. Risks can also be dangerous if a person overestimates themselves and decides to take a risk. For instance, in the article “Why Everest?”, the author Guy Moreau says, “there is another problem facing some climbers: they may not be skilled enough.” This solidifies the fact that people should not have the right to rescue services when they put themselves at risk, as climbers know of the many risks of climbing, and can overestimate their capacity, but they still can decide that they would do so, even if it might mean
