Yeah, ethics are sometimes quite weird. In some scenarios we'll call any life lost a tragedy, in others we'll accept a lot of deaths in the name of progress.

I also recently thought this with bikes and cars. You pretty much only need a bike helmet, because cars exist. We could've declared cars dangerous and prohibited them. Instead, we told those old-timers still using a bike to pad out their brains and simply hope for the best when they do suddenly encounter a car.
