For everybody who says (quotes from different comments here):
> How many times a year do you think people get cancer vs get lost at sea?
> Not to mention that if a poor person does something stupid and gets lost, millions could still be spent in their rescue.
> Every rescue attempt is a practice run for something more important in the future.
I want to remind, that at same time about 700 refugees were lost in Mediterranean. Without any SnR, practice run or another.
