@GleamingRhino True, the argument against that would be imagine how much better you could make their lives. But now we are in territory where you are deciding how much risk to take on someone else's behalf compared to taking on a risk that would only affect yourself. I definitely think I should not be making that decision on another's behalf so this definitely updates me to not flipping.
