We don’t mandate 5 point harnesses in all vehicles, even though they would save far more than 57 lives. Life is a never ending risk calculation and a constant tradeoff between safety and convenience. There is a point where everyone would stop making additional tradeoffs but that is not the same as active killing.


And here there's no tradeoff. Saving 57 lives and having 8000 fewer births are both net positives.
