Well this all implies that we agree that empathy should be a driving force in decision making, overriding all others, to the point that it's ethical to impose onto wider society. Where do you derive the authority to extract compliance, by force, with your virtues and worldview at the expense of others?
Also I don't think we agree on the definition of dignity. In my eyes it's perfectly possible to die of disease or starvation with dignity. Otherwise you're implying that nature itself is bereft of it.
Maybe we can only fix one evil at a time.
The approach that rejects the rusty-tools dentist is also more likely to reject the offshored oppressive offshored (or quite frequently, domestic) labour, rather than binning all empathy looking at either, other similar situations, or worse, and shrugging it off with a "meh, not my problem".
The worldview you're expressing has absolutely no dignity.
