Hypotheticals can be interesting but I think they’re more interesting when you think about how they would actually work in reality.
Like if someone says “would you give up alcohol forever for £1 million”. Surely the interesting part of that question is thinking about how it would work in reality. For example would you be allowed to take the £1 million, invest it, end up with several million, then pay back the original £1 million so you can drink alcohol again?
The thing is that you can’t guarantee safety. Things can always go wrong. Perhaps that’s why people are cautious about it.
It’s a hypothetical, you’re supposed to ignore the logistics. That said, you are correct, a bunch of people cited this reason.
