It reminds me of the misguided logic in mandatory helmet laws for motorcycles. They're more costly because people have higher survival rates. Whereas people who make the bad decision of not wearing a helmet are killed quickly - there's no crazy surgeries. Just send the coroner.

The laws should be taken off the books. It's cheaper to not have the bad decision makers around. (anti Idiocracy)

Disclosure, I ride a MC every day.

Plus, motorcyclists are excellent sources of organs.

They don’t call them donorcycles for nothing.

There is a fun poem about that:

It is maybe dated a bit now. I think it refers to boomers (in the 90s/00s?) rather than modern riders. But still awkwardly accurate.
