I once read the the cheapest way to save a human life (ahem, the way to save the most lives for a given amount of money) is to spend it on DDT.
DDT is also a "very bad, evil, and wicked" thing - for anyone educated between 1970 and 2010.
I remember cartoons having villains who were seeking to make DDT legal again - that's how stigmatized it is.
The EA people did a pretty good job rehabilitating DDT. Good for them.
But the problem is there still asking, "What's the cheapest way to save a human life?"
