Regulations cannot and do not "save lives". It is impossible for a regulation to intervene when a person is in immediate danger of dying or being killed. Regulations do not perform surgery, they do not appear at a crime scene and apprehend criminals, nor do they show up at a fire and pull people out of burning buildings.
The idea that regulations can save lives is a semantically-induced delusion!
It is impossible to "prevent" someone's death.
It is possible to postpone a person's death, but no person's death has ever been or ever will be "prevented". If a person's death were "prevented", they would never die and would be an immortal.
Example; let's say that little Billy had life-threatening deformity "X" as a child, and a surgeon was able to correct that situation at the last minute, thus "saving his life". Billy goes on to live to the age of 89 and dies of a pneumonia infection.
The surgeon did not "prevent" Billy's death. Billy still died, eventually, so his death was not "prevented".
The idea that deaths can be "prevented" is a semantically-induced delusion!
That, is objective reality. |
