    I don’t think that’s entirely true

    Everyday society chooses to save a persons life and not another’s

    Not explicitly but not so indirectly either

      Yeah but I think there is a difference between the two, it is a more direct consequence of your decision only, not society on a whole. I would imagine shared guilt of indirect results is much lighter on the psychology than a direct and visible consequence of what comes out of one’s mouth. There is ofcourse alot of grey region scenarios in between (like you won’t know who dies, or death will be of natural causes but immediate etc).
