Not necessarily. You want people in pain to be able to access opiates. And some of those are going to die from them. So the ideal number of people dying probably isn't zero.
- yrLS1 11y agoIdeally the number IS zero. :) The realistic number on the other hand will probably be higher, as you identify. I'd also argue there's a difference between being 'hooked' on opiates and using them regularly for legitimate pain management.
