A "duty" to rescue might even have the unintended consequence of
reducing the chance of rescue, as people conveniently forgot to
stop. We already see this in certain cases such as the rape years
ago of a woman who was screaming for help on a fire escape and was
heard by 20-30 neighbors who did nothing, not even calling the
police. I'm sorry I can't remember the citation right now, but I
seem to recall it happening in NYC in the mid 70s.
Here's a handy mnemonic supplied by Mark Gibson:
Avoid the legal nets
That entangled Bernie Goetz.
Just shout, "Help! Help! Police!"
Like Kitty Genovese.
