what you think a life is worth, like literally? how much do you want to spend on it?
regulating agencies have think about such things, trolley-problem style.
there's statistical measure for it called the VSL, the value of a statistical life. it is an important concept to know in a trump USA. what is your life worth to this administration? you can measure it.

Als Antwort auf kali • • •The image is a line graph titled "The value of a statistical life (vsl) (in millions of 2010 dollars)" that tracks the value of a statistical life from 1985 to 2010. The graph features multiple colored lines representing different regulatory agencies: EPA (red), FDA (blue), Department of Transportation (dark blue), Consumer Product Safety Commission (gray), and FAA (light brown). Each line shows fluctuations in the value of a statistical life over time, with notable peaks and troughs.
Key events and changes are annotated on the graph, such as the EPA's use of a $12.5 million vsl for pollution rules in 1990, the Bush EPA's lowering of vsl in 2002, and the Obama EPA's use of a $9.1 million vsl in 2010. The graph also highlights the Consumer Product Safety Commission's vsl, which has remained at $5 million since 1995, indicating a real decline in value.
The graph's sources are listed at the bottom: W. Kip Viscusi, Vanderbilt University; CPSC: DOT; EPA; FAA; FDA. The x-axis represents the years, and the y-axis shows the value of a statistical life in millions of 2010 dolla
