How much for a life? Shocking Facts and Figures

Ever try to fix a dollar figure to life? Here's a few figures I've come across this week...

$3,000,000,000--amount awarded to some guy in california who claims that he was tricked into smoking (has terminal lung cancer)

400 camels ($1,600?)--Blood money claimed for accidental death, Saharan Africa.

$100--Ransom demanded for safe return of family member abducted by men in uniform, Luhago. Note: the price goes up $400 if the individual is known to be associated with an ngo.

Nauseating, isn't it?
