Re: How much do you value your life?
I wouldn't take the bet even if it was an infinite amount of money. I really don't see how mathematics can be applied to this situation, because (.01)(-infinity)+(.99)($99999999999) is a negative expectation proposition.
To me, dying is infinitely negative. Maybe I use the word infinite a little loosely though, because if I hardly had any time to live at all I think you could imagine that this would be a much more attractive proposition. But, I'm 21 years old and don't have any terminal illnesses that I know of, so this isn't really the case.
