"To Be, Or Not To Be"

People have been debating over whether or not a Good Samaritan Law should be passed in the United States. If it was passed, people would be forced to help others to the best of their ability and, unfortunately, be punished if they don't. However, this is completely wrong in the sense that not everybody has the ability to take charge of the situation and assist those in need. If a person is afraid of the sight of blood, how are they supposed to even come near a tragic car accident? Or, how is someone who can't swim able to save a drowning man?
All in all, being a Good Samaritan is something someone chooses to do, not something they are forced to do. It is up to the person's judgement and moral standards to decide if it is the right thing for them to help others.
