    My question is: how many more people are negatively affected (in a concrete manner, such as this case) by this proliferation of forced garbage?

    I would really like to see a study of exactly these kinds of situations done so the larger social impact can be measured. But, it’s not only social impact and there may be financial impacts – such as the need for this woman to go to a hospital, and now the examination of her medications. All of that costs money, and it’s likely money that the taxpayer is shouldering the bill for…no matter what country it is happening in.
