If the only reason we have for treating others as they would want to be treated (and thus save a dying person, for example), is because it is ultimately best for us individually by being best for society, then how does that change if overpopulation is a problem and it would be better for us to just let a person die rather than doing everything we can to save them?
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
