Title: Daily Trivia Question #6 (10/28/14) Post by: Rayblon on October 28, 2014, 01:13:30 AM In 1904, a Las Vegas hospital suspended workers for betting on when patients would die.
Not my best work but I digress. Summin ain't quite right here. Title: Re: Daily Trivia Question #6 (10/28/14) Post by: Rayblon on October 28, 2014, 01:43:17 AM I think I would do well in the business of gambling on death.

The only problem is when you try to manipulate the death pool by helping someone die without their consent. In a way isn't life insurance for other people a death pool?

Yeah, but that's why it's so distasteful when it's the health care professionals doing it as it feels like a major conflict of interest not in our favor.

Feel free to take the trivia series over indefinitely if you'd like. I'm not good at trivia anyway. xP |
