Should You be Compelled to Save a Life and Risk Your Own


You know that driving can cause accidents but you drive anyways. One day you get into an accident with another car where you and the other driver are equally at fault. A passenger in the other driver's car is injured but will be fine if he his hooked up to your body so he can use your kidneys to filter blood. There is a significant risk of death if you participate. You will have to stayed hooked up for almost an entire year and will have to pay the medical cost of the person's treatments and living expenses for the next twenty years if you participate. Setting aside insurance for a moment, should you be compelled to do this even if you do not want to?
