I wonder what a teenager from a developing country would say if we asked them this question:
"In Australia, children are given medicine that can stop them getting some of the diseases that are killing your brothers and sisters and causing tremendous pain. Although a small number of people worry that there might be harmful side effects, most of the country gets this medicine. Do you think you have the right to get this medicine?"
Looking at it from a statistical level, maybe you can say it is a bad idea to save 60million people. But questions of human rights must be looked at from the perspective of the individual.
