I think it is obscene to equate human life to a monetary value but you are missing my point (my responsibility). What I am saying is economic mismanagement costs lives, environmental mismanagement costs lives, halting growth/development costs lives. All these factors need to be considered. No one is more important than any other.

Here is the core of the problem. You cannot consider factors scientifically if they are of equal value.
Maybe someday there will be a discipline for evaluating the costs, but for now no-matter the process it boils down to faith, not science.

Then you must have faith in the decision makers.
