No, I do not believe it requires any such assumption. I am 100% likely to die, as is everyone. That's the nature of living. We all have an expiry date. When I'm wheeled in for whatever reason, car accident, fell in the bathroom, tomorrow, next month, ten years from now, exercise your morality and save me if I can be saved - no questions asked. That's all.

Listen, it's pretty obvious I never assumed I'd die in the near future without a mask, only that I might be put in a life threatening situation at some point - mask or no mask. I don't see how this is supposed to be such a hard choice to save my life. I'm rate-limited on HN, so this might be my last post, but if you find it so hard to say you'd help saving my life maybe you shouldn't be moralizing on how I should be saving others'.
