I So Hate Consequences!!!!
Not really. See, most dollars are just dollars. You can easily replace one with another. But take something like a hand. Cut mine off and put yours on instead, and it is still not my hand. The more mundane something is, the more likely it will be able to be replaced, and that the law should. Non-mundane things which can be replaced with mundane varieties should also be the same. If you stab me and rupture my kidney, then I do not see it unfair that you should be required to pay for a new kidney to be grown for me (assuming they have the kidney growing process working yet). But removal of your own kidney is acting on a non-mundane thing, and thus is not reasonable (and also, is not likely to be any where near as effective as a kidney grown from my own cells).
I agree if there is a more effective measurement, it should be taken. I was just saying that it is fair, as far as it goes.
