'but if it saves one life" well golly gee lets just have a 15 mile per hour speed limit nation wide, cities, towns, highways, free ways, build all cars so they can only go 15 miles per hour and ban all air travel. But, But, that would cause,, no stop! 15 mph every where it will save thousands of lives not to mention the fuel savings. The argument is stupid and when a person uses it I take it to mean they have no good argument to offer and use the lame but if one life is saved pitch because it's all they got they have lost the argument so they through this one out like a life saver when they can't swim.
