That why a rhetorical tool that personalizes death may work.
Something like “okay, your mother is now dead. And now your wife, and auntie and even your old highschool girlfriend. You watch them all die, bewildered and distraught, but you do nothing until your son dies in front of you, choking on a resporrator, pleading in his eyes until the very end.”
“You can stop the rest of your family dying right now right now, right way. Do you still refuse?”

Wrll, you aint gonna win them all, but sokething like the above tends to work well when people talk about how “some people” should die or go somewhere else. Bringing it back from “somebody” to “you and everyone you know” tends to shock that talk out of them.

Your story really reminds me of the Voight-Kampff test.
