The issue isn’t whether it’s a good idea or not. It’s whether or not the government has the authority to force people to do things for their own good.
The answer to that, obviously, is yes. In effect, anyway. See drug laws, seat belt laws, motorcycle helmet laws, mandatory insurance laws, and so on. The public will allow any such law to be passed until it gores their ox - and of course it will be too late by then.
And no, I don’t agree with any of the above, or being forced to wear a helmet to ski, snowmobile, ride dirt bikes or ATVs, rock climbing, etc and so on. A wise person would, in many cases, though.
