At a time when healthcare costs are skyrocketing, the question arises: how can healthcare systems be reimagined? In this first installment, Prof. Pascal St-Amour examines how to assess the value of a human life.
In a new series we look at how our researchers are rethinking some of the biggest challenges that humanity faces. Healthcare is a big issue.
In this first article, Prof. Pascal St-Amour takes a bold approach in his research entitled “Valuing Life over the Life Cycle”. Using rigorous economic models, he examines how to assign an objective value to human life, guiding crucial decisions in healthcare, justice, and public policy. A fascinating and necessary approach to rethinking our health systems.
