“They know that in 2010, 15 people will die like my father did even though there’s a surefire way to prevent that?” Ms. Bourgeois asked. “I can’t believe that’s not illegal. Of course the F.D.A. should step in.”
115 people die every day in car accidents and there's a surefire way to prevent them. Just saying. Lives are valuable, and in the divine sense are of infinite value, but we are allowed to drive cars in this country.
