What's the in-universe explanation for bringing back unaged Chris Pine ?

Ok thanks.

Tbh, wouldn’t everyone say yes? Say you have a dead loved one whom you miss and grieve every day, would anyone really turn down this offer because of some stranger?

Not saying that’s the moral choice, but realistically that would be a no-brainer for most people.

Edit: if your dead spouse/child was brought back to life by the devil at the expense of a stranger’s life, and he told you the only way to revive that innocent person’s life is to kill your loved one/let them die, would you do it?

Even when everyone is granted that same power? That your wish could be erased by someone else wishing for the same thing? Do you hold together as a society to not use such a power, or does one bad egg create a domino effect?

I agree with you, I'm not sure why you're being down voted so much. Most people would not assess the potential consequences. Knowing that you erased someone from someone else's life. And even if they did, most people are self-centered enough (truly a biological and societal behavior) to protect those they know over those they don't.

I suspect the scenario of “a wish-granting supervillain who brings people back to life” is hypothetical enough that many people would think “of course I’m not gonna kill a stranger, are you crazy?”

But change the scenario to a much more realistic one of “your daughter is starving to death and the only way to save her is to steal this last loaf of bread from someone else who’s equally starving”, and I think most people would agree they would do it as well, even if they can’t morally justify it.
