although it seems a bit macabre discussing the positive side of people dying when with a helmet, I understand the viewpoint.
But how many people not wearing a helmet would have lived if they had worn a helmet? And I don't think the loss of a life considers all the aftershocks from such a death. Supposing this dead person was a breadwinner; how are the family going to survive? Of course there are the what-ifs but it's ridiculous to go down that path.
This line of thinking is similar to the line of thinking that gives abortion its credence, that a life not lived is more profitable for society than a life lived that will require a constant input of money to sustain. Although I consider all life sacred, it seems more logical that if a child is unwanted, it would be better off sent to sit in the arms of the creator than to suffer this planet of ill repute.
But the similarities ends when the people who depend on the dead fool without a helmet are deprived of their resource. An unborn child doesn't have anyone depending on them for survival.
