we already have in place.
Which is why some of course have the (perhaps unachievable) goal of
writing legislation (for this or many other issues) which is subject
to only one interpretation: the one intended by the writers of the
legislation.
I think experience alone has shown that this is, in fact, an impossible
goal. This suggests to me that it should not be tried. Not because it's
futile; but because needless suffering will be the inevitable result.
Since that suffering is preventable, it makes sense to *not* act, and
to not enact as a result of the non-action. ;)
