Yeah, you know what it seems like to me? That old saying that you can't put a price on human life, that's what these pharma companies are testing now.
"Will they pay, even if we raise the price by 20x?"
That's not the kind of behavior I'd like to look back on for my own life, when I'm at the end of my days.

It's easy to find an upper bound on the value of a human life; would you be willing to pay ten trillion dollars of public money (which would otherwise be hypothetically used to finance schools, research, etc.) to save the life of a single child?
