I'm curious to know what you consider a reasonable exchange rate.



I don’t have an exchange rate when it comes to dealing with lives of children. That’s a reprehensible statement.


The people that run hospitals, build safety devices, approve drugs, issue insurance, etc etc all do. I certainly hope the people that drop bombs do too.

Look up Value of a Statistical Life, Value of a Statistical Life Year, and Age Weighting.
