Well, banning the practice is the first step towards doing exactly that. The whole world is a lot more understanding of the stance, "Sorry, we cannot go and rescue [person X]," when person X got in trouble because of illegal activity they were performing - and there are few more effective methods of making someone adopt the stance espoused by your proposed note, "I forbid you from rescuing me," than making the practice illegal.

So, essentially, I agree, I just think this is the proper way for Nepal to go about de-prioritizing this particular problem. :)

Agreed. Just don't call poor people to come clean up your mess.
