Dear Congressman Loblaw,
I am writing this letter because of the recent debate over implementation of a Good Samaritan law in California. Many believe that it should be invoked, however, I believe that it should not.
The Good Samaritan law seems like a good idea on paper, but it is not, and we need to consider how people may react to it. So, rather than being a boon to our society's morality, it will most likely be a hindrance instead. Citizens normally seem to be selfish and not help because they fear that in an event that they would be forced to assist someone, an accident may occur that will cause them to get sued or hurt. Naturally, people would also be finding loopholes in the law to allow them to avoid having to be a "Good Samaritan." This law would not even make people true Good Samaritans, because they are forced to perform helpful actions. Rather than forcing people, we should evoke the rise of more Good-Sams through a law that would protect Good Samaritan actions.
Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to read this letter. I hope you will consider my view that I have put forth in this letter.
Sincerely,
Rondee Tanciatco
