Regardless of whether death is a direct consequence or an outside risk from the action you’re still just as dead. It might matter for the court system assigning blame but it doesn’t matter from an economic perspective.

Right. To which I say that anyone that only looks at things from the economic perspective is an immoral hack that should never be listened to.

Every larger issue, dear to either conservatives or progressives alike, can find its roots in and be justified by some moron looking for solutions exclusively via an economic perspective. It's a danger to society, plain and simple.
