$250,000.00 for death of a child due to vaccine is absurd, what, is a life worth no more than that? Even lopping off an arm gets more than that under more worker's comp laws, so why this paltry sum?

I could not agree more, in the case of vioxx, sitting around on info. while Rx after Rx is being written while people are dying from that drug, those making the decisions should not only be fired, but all their profits/bonuses/stock, etc. from that drug should be taken away. This is no different from a wife not getting the life insurance money when she kills her husband (the "no profit from a wrondoing" rule). Makes me crazy.

Yes and for the life of me i couldn't think of the name Vioxx last night when I posted. I would consider that criminal behavior and that is different of course. And Rick, it was used as an excuse for halting GDNF.
