    It’s an extreme example where the decision is easy: death vs hair loss.

    When it comes to more subtle examples: glasses vs < 1% risk of blindness, that’s a decision that people will have more different opinions on.

      For all numbers I know (I didn’t look anything up, but so did nobody else) I’m at a bigger risk of being run over when I cross the street to the store. And glasses surely are a bigger inconvenience than not having onions when you wanna cook or beers when the footie is on.
