Oh, you recognize that child! His mother is a single welfare mom.

The child is poor.

The child has down’s syndrome.

The child is a minority.

The child is ugly.

The child will never amount to anything anyway.

If the risk is small I don’t mind it sticking crayons in it’s nose.

Certainly I would be less encouraged to do so. Why wouldn’t I be? Granted I has the impossible knowledge that the child would become a alcoholic pedophile I would not save it. Pity for transgressors is treason to the innocent and valuing disabilities is an insult to the able.

But risking your life for other people is not necessarily noble. SAR make sure the area is secure and make sure of their own safety before helping the victim of the accident. That is the reasonable way to do it. Acting only on impulse to save others is hardly a suitable philosophy.
