Yeah, as I say, for those not already suffering.
Those that were suffering, would be abandoned. Once people realise it’s hopeless, their care would cease. Maybe not initially, but inevitably. Like the guy from The Beach that gets wounded by the shark. The rest will go on and the sick will be forgotten.
For the planning aspect, lack of notes shouldn’t matter. Populations would coordinate locally, and as long as you can remember what you’re supposed to be doing the “next” day, you’re golden.
I think the opposite. The starving and suffering would be abandoned, because any attempt to ease it is futile. Their suffering begins again tomorrow, right where they were today.
I think people would help initially, but eventual acceptance that it’s pointless and nothing you can do for them makes any difference, would inevitably lead to anyone that can’t be helped being forsaken. There would be a few saints no doubt, but they’d be in the minority. How many times could you euthanise someone before there’s no longer any emotion it?
It’s bleak, but it’s human.
