No, that’s not the kind of fool I am. That we find ourselves thrown into a social contract (resuscitation services) is a poor reason for claiming to know what’s best for others. It’s patronizing. Stop that. You may be a socialist and not know it. Luckily I am here to help you deconstruct your received identity. Fix yourself and the world will fix itself in your image.

What do social contracts have to do with anything? I don't understand what you are saying; do you believe that resuscitation possible in the state of nature? If I perform CPR on someone it's because they are a nonverbal corpse-in-pending and I want to screw around with their heart, not because there's some kind of phony contract between us. It doesn't make a difference to me whether or not I know what's best for them; vegetables aren't people. My values override the values of any bag of meat that will otherwise never even be capable of conversing with me.
