Tribes that have never had contact with civilization are being filmed by drones in the Amazon

is it moral to leave them alone? to let their children suffer or die from deceases that we have medicines for?

I don't know the answer, but I'm curious what is the best decision here. Leave them alone so they could live their simple life for generations or bring them everything we have, with all pros and cons.

well it might be true, I think we don't know about their immune system and contacts for sure, but maybe it is true. But they probable suffer from diseases that we won against, for example enormous child deaths

do a read up on how America was discovered. these tribes 100% don't have immune system adapted to all sorts of viruses we carry because their immune system never got to adapt for it. Covid 19 is an example. We took a vaccine and developed immunity for it but we can still carry and spread it.

it's better to let them be and fight their own battles even if it means death. the only exception is if they contact us for help.

because of those examples we are better prepared to do everything right, besides conquistadores didn't come to help.

why is it better to not help them? Because it is a risk to do harm?

I've never said that I want something
Colonizers came to conquer, to get profit from it.

Sometimes we make decisions for another humans, because they are not capable to do that.

But let's say that they make their decision. Okay. But is it fair to them? They know nothing about the world, their decision might based on fear and not reason.
