People would not want pity, or to be shunned, or to have unwanted/unneeded protections offered, and none of those things would constitute anything that the law could help with.

I would say here something that was heard from an ecclesiastic of the most eminent degree; ‘That the intention of the Holy Ghost is to teach us how one goes to heaven, not how the heaven goes.’ Galileo Galilei 1615.
