Many things would save lives -- that doesn't mean we should do them. It would save lives if everyone were forced to wear a helmet while walking outside their houses. Should we all be forced to put on helmets to walk on the sidewalk? Don't mock, it's just an extension of the bicycle helmet laws. Saving lives is not the only consideration, when taking away personal liberties.
