I suggest those who use death as an acceptable alternative to losing money should put their own family as that acceptable death and see how they change their tune on what is or is not acceptable.

What alternative do you suggest? I don't mean a paraphrase in 'more acceptable' words. It's not possible to make a 100% safe product, so how near to 100% do we need to be? Treat it as a question of morality, not commerce or engineering and you still end up with the same sort of decision. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only.
