Reading veritas curat's diary, "Justice and Population Biology," reminded me of an interview I heard on NPR recently with Lionel Shriver about her new book, So Much for That. A NYT article about the book is here: it provides a decent plot summary. The point of the NPR interview that I remembered while reading the diary was Shriver's comment that we (American society) don't confront the hardest question ignored by the health care/insurance reform debate: How do we put a monetary value on human life?
