well it depends on one's point of view Renosteinke, for instance some would say that if any given safety code in our society isn't achievable by all, then it does not benifit the whole of it equally
.......that would probably be the socialist stance

conversley, the libertarian stance would be to subscribe to whatever safety codes they'd wish to , ignoring those that can't achieve them to simply exit the gene pool any way they'd like

the limo liberal approach would be to force all those codes down everyone's throats regardless of their ability to comply

one can read political stripe into safety issues , because they are a socio-political animal, always an inexact 'soft' science (per se') , ergo always debatable
