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 resporator, pleading in his eyes until the very end.”
“You can stop the rest of your family dying right now right now, right way. you can even save your own life, in a way that will also save other peoples mothers, wifes, and sons. Will you?”
Well, you aint gonna win them all, but something like the above tends to work 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.
“One death is a tragedy. A million deaths is a statistic.”
These people would care more if they personally get hurt.

Oh I’m just referencing blade runner.
Your story really reminds me of the Voight-Kampff test.
Its effectivly an empathy test just like voight-kampff, so I see where you’re coming from.
Capillary dilation of the so-called blush response? Fluctuation of the pupil. Involuntary dilation of the iris…
depending on the person, one death could also be a party
Doesn’t have to be one, I’ve made a list
Oh I am partying once Trump keels over. Absolutely no shame admitting that.
