If there's some fresh human roadkill on the highway, who's paying to pick it up and resuscitate it? In case you wind up as a human veggie on the vent, who's going to pay for that? In case in India emergency personnel is not required by law to deal with patching leaky brains well enough to give them years and years of "life" on life support -- all paid by taxes, of course, you've just gots yourself a case. If not, then compulsory helmeting will reduce health costs, and thus could lower the tax load. -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org";>leitl</a> http://leitl.org ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://www.ativel.com 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE
