And I wonder what their philosophical interpretation of someone dying from dysntery is, considering that if it's as likely as you say it must be (assuming they don't have their own medicinal practices) they might just deal with it as a fact of life. People are born, people die. We're assuming that they are as incapable of dealing with this reality as we are.

You can't assume that they place a value on the chronological span of an individual human life in the same way we do; and you can't say they would be wrong for doing that. You can't apply your own moral constructs as a justification for taking action in order to standardize their SOPs.
