Can someone here explain to me why I'm required to help someone if they need help? Let's just assume he wasn't on the clock and being paid.
Why is this man "required" to give aid to anyone if he isn't being rewarded for it?

Its called human decency and utilizing the medical training you have been taught. That is why medical officials take an oath to always help if possible. Given the info we know, it seems to be entirely possible that these two had limited EMT medical training and should have at least taken a look to see what they could do. The reward is seeing that person get up and live. Your statements really define a poor attitude towards life and humanity in general.

I don't see how this benefits me in any way, shape, or form? He lives another day? So what? What does that have to do with me? Look, if this man was on the clock and such and didn't do his job, I can understand why people were upset with him. He was being paid and didn't do his job! Plain and simple!
However, if he was off the clock and on his own, there is absolutely no reason he is /required/ to save peoples lives despite his abilities. I don't understand how anyone can say he "deserved" to die because of this.
I still don't understand your reward line, though. I mean, I guess I could use it as a pickup line and say "Hey girl, I saved that mans life. Fuck me!" but I don't think that's the kind of reward you're referring to.

It's not about how it's suppose to benefit you. It's about human dencency and doing the right thing. If one of your family member's are close freind's were in pain are hurting,would'nt you hope that someone would help and save them,regardless of what that person was doing at the time. I also blame the society in which we live in,there's so much violence and crime in the world,that nobody want's to do anything outside there comfort zone. That's just the cynical society in which we live in I guess.
