60. If they are the decider as to whether to risk their life - they are setting the value.
Edited on Wed Aug-31-11 12:59 PM by Atypical Liberal
And you are right, it is pretty darned clear-cut.

Some people decide their life is worth risking by throwing it out of an airplane to skydive. If they die, this is not the fault of the guy flying the airplane - he simply obliged the person in his activity.

If you knowingly undertake an illegal activity where your life is on the line, like, say, armed robbery, then that is a choice that you decide to make all by yourself.
