How about because people that use heroin or any other drugs for that matter are still people and don't deserve to die because they are an addict and they also have family's that still love them too so saving them saves their loved ones from losing someone too. Not all people who use drugs are bad people, they were just really stupid at one point and started using for whatever reason, that doesn't mean they should die, it means they are in desperate need of help, support, and treatment. I used heroin for 8 yrs luckily I never od. I tried to quit and failed more times than I can count but I'd never make it past a week or two tops before I'd relapse. It's the hardest thing ever to quit, I thought I'd never be able to, but I'm going on 3 months without the crap and I never wanna go back. I finally got the help I needed and that is all they need too, they don't need to die cause they need help. Anyone who thinks that is just cold hearted & pure evil.
