Pricing Life
It's not exactly what every kid dreams of doing when asked, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" It's probably not even a job many of us would volunteer for, though few would doubt its necessity. Kenneth Feinberg, formally an attorney, oversaw the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund, and now he's pulling similar duty for Virginia Tech. It's his job to talk with the victims' families, and the school, and determine how the funds and other benefits will be disbursed. It's an emotional, mentally-trying, ethics-testing job, and ultimately comes down to putting a price on life. How does he do it, and how does he deal with it? Leave your questions here.
