Addicts are a sacrifice I'm willing to make for the greater good of the populace. For how much heroine can ruin people's lives I do not think it is oppressive or cruel to punish people with the loss of a life in perpetuating such a life ruining substance. But it is still helping those people due to the benefits of addicts no longer existing.

Personally I'd be more inclined to sacrifice people advocating cruel, oppressive policies for the greater good if we should consider sacrifice someone, as I consider those attitudes far more harmful.

This is the problem with advocating policies that sacrifices anyone: Someone else will want to sacrifice you

“Some of you may die, but that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make”
