Halting the deployment immediately prevents the projected economic collapse, which would disproportionately harm low-income families and the broader population, aligning with ethical principles of non-maleficence and utilitarianism by prioritizing the avoidance of widespread harm. While exposing the bias may damage public trust and invite regulatory scrutiny, this transparency fosters accountability and long-term improvements in the system, benefiting stakeholders like regulators, the public, and affected families. The trade-off of risking a patch failure outweighs the potential benefits, as the uncertainty of success within 24 hours could lead to catastrophic consequences, making prevention the more responsible choice.
