So after a checkup the doctor tells you "There's a parasitic organism invading your organs that will eventually kill you. We could treat it but the powers that be have deemed that parasite to have a right to live just as you do, even though letting it live and propagate will spell your demise and make your remaining time on Earth a living hell. Have a nice day."
No - we isolate, extricate and free the living body of the parasite and inoculate against further infection where possible.

Great analogy. If only TPTB could see it.
