This is avoiding the question by being emotive and vague. Would you trade the life of somebody who had 30 years more to live for the life of someone who had 30 seconds to live? Why or why not?

Not giving a direct answer to a question isn’t the same as avoiding it; it’s asked disingenuously, so the actual answer doesn’t matter.

Just like your follow up question, which is similarly irrelevant, since changing behaviours to save lives isn’t at all the same as trading lives.
