My God! Have we become such a heartless society that we even have to debate this? Has humanity as a race of beings reached the point where care and concern for others of our species is a question of whether to help them or not? If so, then I think that is horribly sad and twisted.

It is justified to deny someone medical treatment because they got hit by a car while crossing the street just because they jaywalked or chose to go out of their home that day, on foot?
