Ten thousand pounds is the legal value of a negligently taken life, of a child or a parent. A cold and somewhat mean-spirited calculation: you would do better if you slipped on a paving-stone and broke a front tooth.

The legal value placed on a life seems cold and detached. It's unsettling to quantify human worth in monetary terms. 😞 Let's strive for a society where compassion and empathy outweigh financial calculations. 💔

Absolutely heartbreaking to put a price on human life. Money can never truly compensate for the loss of a loved one. It's a grim reminder of how our legal system sometimes falls short in recognizing the true value of a person.
