I think this went straight over my head. I don't quite understand what you're trying to say.
What I'm saying is human nature makes most people more positive towards an idea that actually helps them, either in an emotional or tangible way. That doesn't necessarily mean its right, nor invalidates their thought about it.
You tried to invalidate kori's statement by saying he may think differently when he's elderly and needing medical advise.
That is as logically irrelevant as it would be to discredit someone whose wealthy and says the top earners in the country shouldn't shoulder 90% of the tax burden by going "Well, you'd think differently if you were poor".
Just because someone may think differently and want differently in a different situation does not necessarily make their initial feelings/views wrong, nor does it disqualify them from making that determination.
