The math of life: What is a life worth?




Beer and Conversation with Pigweed and Crowhill show

Summary: P&C drink and review Purple Monkey Dishwasher, by Evil Genius Beer Company, and then discuss the dread math of human life. We like to say that every life is infinitely valuable, but do we mean it? Are we willing to eat better to extend our lives one year? Are we willing to reduce the national speed limit to 20 mph to save highway deaths? Should we all wear helmets all the time? There's clearly a math to life. We're willing to spend a certain amount to save a life, but there are limits.
