This is more or less my position. You put it more nicely than I would, and I chase the rot back a lot further than you do. Fundamentally, ours is a society which does not value human life or well-being, and more than simply failing to do so, has elevated not having to trouble one's self with valuing human life and well-being to a social virtue. Our problem is a catastrophic failure of morality.
