To discuss such topic is quite pointless. It looks much like "is Newton's gravity applicable when plane crashed into WTC" or "is Archimede's law applicable when Titanic drowns without having enough lifeboats onboard".
Let's say "no, they aren't, we must just ignore them because people are suffering". Why, excellent idea.
But in reality, on Titanic we personally could be as altruistic as we wish yet Archimede's rule continues to work and is neither "fair" nor "unfair". Laws of the Nature are not about justice.
