I agree that it is absurd how people act so shocked when there is a death like it is unexpected.
I think I sort of believed what you said there.
The problem I see now though is that who makes the decision about who lives and who dies. If human life wasn't sacred then some huge hospital would decide to dump the elderly and disabled that are poor, but save the ones that came from wealthy families.
Also, cities would exterminate all their homeless. Once you got to that point, the abusers of power would throw in extra people because they are potentially getting in the way and they just aren't connected so no one will care.
