It seems to me that if you really care about the poor you would be in favor of this option to escape poverty.

You're talking to someone who thinks the poor are so stupid they can't decide on their own whether the gain is worth the risk, so whether or not they made a million bucks is moot...they'd only
seem happy when they could finally climb out of poverty, or maybe have enough extra money to do something beneficial for their families, but in reality they wouldn't be happy because they were actually unfairly coerced into making some money for their families by taking a risk, instead of working for money at some really, super-safe mine or an ultra-safety-conscious factory.
The headlines are chock full of people who naively donated organs only to be slaughtered on the operating table, but you never hear of people dying at work earning poverty-level wages. Why would
poor ignorant peasant risk being butchered by our neanderthal medical community when they could simply slave away in their fields comfortably surrounded by saftey-tractors and non-toxic farm chemicals and bladeless combines and child-proof grain silos? Only the STUPID POOR PEOPLE would do something that idiotic.
I can think of nothing more horrible than a poor family having money that
wolf doesn't think they are smart enough to have. The horror!
