We don't take a drug off the market because of a single fatality. Commercials even warn you that fatalities are possible (to avoid potential liability) when taking the drug. Well guess what? Fatalities are possible in most anything we do even taking a bath where people slip and fall and are killed. Should we stop taking baths?One reason this is a poor analogy to pedestrian deaths is that, in the case of drugs, the person deriving benefit from taking the drug and the person at risk of death from the drug are the same person. As a pedestrian, I derive zero benefit from your driving, yet I'm exposed to a risk of death from your driving. |
