[Auto-resolved by learned corrector: learned-map — A=MINT/B=NEUTRAL -> MINT (human chose this in 93% of 255 past reviews)] Charging for rescues may deter emergency calls, weakening safety rights and enabling harm. | The policy introduces accountability for climbers but risks undermining the right to safety and exacerbating inequalities. While it may reduce unnecessary rescues, the potential for deterring life-saving calls outweighs the financial benefits, creating a net negative ethical balance.
