My dad told me about this the other day and I thought he was joking with me until I looked it up last night. It’s actually really scary to think once you’re up there, you’re 100% responsible for yourself and it’s impossible to help somebody whose run into trouble up there. It’s so high that rescue missions are almost impossible and so the bodies of deceased climbers just remain there. Some recovery missions have been carried out but in some cases have resulted in more casualties.

The Death Zone is commonly known as the area above 26,000 feet. When the human body enters this altitude, it slowly starts to die. Then it becomes a race against the clock for climbers to make it from this mark to the peak and back again before their body fails them. Since oxygen at this level is only a third of what it is at sea level, climbers may find themselves sluggish, disoriented, and fatigued. The pressure makes weight feel ten times heavier and causes extreme distress on organs. Because of these severe effects, climbers usually only have a window of 48 hours inside the Death Zone and are strongly urged to use supplemental oxygen at all times.
Wow this is scary

The unwritten code among climbers is to abandon their quests in order to help others in peril. On Everest, many believe that the standard code does not apply due to the difficulties involved in climbing the tallest mountain on earth. Many argue that it's every man for himself and that Everest has become a moral “gray area." This modern mentality has pushed the climbing world into civil war, with Sharp's death only further highlighting the issue.
this is wrong in soo many ways

I saw this on Good Morning Britain. They were reporting a bunch of climbers saying they were stepping over the bodies of people who died up there.

I cannot even being to understand the mental gymnastics it would take to want to continue on after seeing dead bodies everywhere along the way up.

They can’t as they’re so high up. Some people have died trying to recover bodies. The climbers who passed Francys Arsentiev ( Sleeping Beauty body) when she was dying returned like a decade later to her body out of guilt and threw her further down the mountain so she couldn’t be seen by passers by to give her a little dignity in death.

Some of these stories are genuinely horrifying, 30-40 people passed the British guy who snuck in the cave and could see he was clearly distressed but ignored his cries for help.

so sad, and honestly in that sort of life threatening situation, you should Always try to see if you can be of any help, doesn't matter what you do, calming someone down (since a bit more calmth can also be better than stress there)
