At first, I believed that we should have the "Good Samaritan" law since it did sound like a thoughtful, fair idea. Then again, I began to wonder is it really still considered being a good samaritan when you are being forced for you actions? In order to be considered a good samaritan it has to come from your heart and because you simply want to help another. If it were a law people would be forced to help and if not they would suffer a sort of punishment themselves. Also, you have to think about the problems others would have to face if they are forced to help. What if they try and help but end up making matters worse? What if they were too late? What if they had no idea about what was happening? The list could continue with many possibilities. The law would seem like the right thing to do once you hear about it, but if you actually think about it... It is not right. You can't force people to do actions, you can't just make a law without thinking of future problems. You should help a person because YOU want to, because it is YOUR choice. It is up to your own moral belief.
