How much do you think a life is worth or not being in a permanent coma?
If you're asking my price, well, personally, I'm more than willing to take what I think is a one in two million chance that my infant will be put in a coma or killed on a flight if it will save me $500
So, if it's I guess my price is a billion dollars (2,000,000 x $500) for my child.
Is there something wrong with my math? What are the chances on a per flight basis that an unrestrained lap child will become killed or permanently injured (and would have survived with a car seat)?
According to my personal value system, the $500 would serve the child much better if I put it in his 529 plan.
