If you keep following this logic, this ends up in a pretty shitty ableist place.
If the person does survive they are going to have a pretty serious disability for the rest of their life - that would suck, but saying that we should let them die cos they’d be better off dead than disabled really devalues people who live with disabilities that they ended up with through bad luck.
You’re right, they would be in a lot of pain, but honestly I just wouldn’t be thinking about that.
If someone is on fire, I would put them out if I could. That’s it. There’s no consideration of their potential health outcomes in the future or whatever.
the constant physical agony of a burn victim is outside the scope of your quaint little attempt to virtue signal and moralize, here, not to mention you’re taking the man’s choice away which the cadre you’re appealing to would not approve of.
