Death is cheaper in our legal system than taking care of some one disabled for many years.

China too, that's why you get... those videos.

It costs more than dying.

I mean, I'd probably rather be dead than lose multiple limbs.

As my father quipped to me when I was younger: 'You know the best thing about a three-legged dog? It's not sad about the limb it's missing: it's happy for the three it still has.'
