First, I should say that I haven't read PG&L. But I don't understand how David can possibly conclude that, in general, there is no amount of money for which it is worth taking a 1 in 1000 shot of dying. So I doubt he actually did.

That being noted, Daniel, you said

Love isn't logical David. I can take that a step further:

Your son is about to get hit by a truck. If you do nothing he will die 100% of the time. If you try to save him you will die 50% of the time and save him 25% of the time. Meaning that 25% of the time you'd both die.

Without love or human emotion the "logical" answer is simple. Save your own butt! Luckily, that's not how this world works.

I'm not sure I see what you're doing here. I don't see any reason why the "logical" answer can't be to attempt to save your son. Are you assuming that the completely "logical" person would value his own health incredibly highly relative to that of his family? Why is that necessary?

What point is it you're trying to make here?
