“Someone in the society has to deal with the reality that there are finite resources and we're making trade-offs, and be explicit about that. When the car companies were found to have a memo that actually said, "This safety feature costs X and saved Y lives," the very existence of that memo was considered damning.

It was asking somebody to make a decision.” WantMadeSaidEndsRealityCareAsksFoundDecisionDealsExistenceCompanyCarCostResourcesDoctorsAskingSafetyTradeSavedMade ItFeaturesHeroicFiniteEnd Of LifeExplicitTrade OffsMemos Author:Bill Gates
