You can’t put a price on a human life.

“You can’t put a price on a human life.”
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Sure you can. It’s done every day. I despise government involvement in health care but it is necessary to put a price on human life. Just for one example if all cars were built with governors that would prevent speeds of more than five miles per hour there would probably be no deaths from collisions. Obviously the price for that is too high. The price of eliminating death from airplane crashes would be the elimination of air travel. Obviously that price is too high. There really is no way to live WITHOUT putting a price on human life in one way or another. Many lives could be saved if we just all give up every shred of freedom. If nobody could ski nobody would run into a tree on a ski slope, if nobody could go boating or swimming nobody would die in boating accidents or drown while swimming or be attacked by a shark and killed while swimming. I could go on and on, do you want to pay that price?
