Diabetic Toby Warbet quit her secretarial job last year because of physical problems, including blurred vision and a general loss of sensation. Such was her desperation that when she heard about an unproven treatment that might help her, she decided to borrow $20,000 from relatives to pay for it . . . “Even if the chances are one in a million, I was hoping I would be the one,” says the Livingston, NJ resident.
How might you measure the value of Toby Warbet’s life using the human capital approach and attain a figure close to the willingness-to-pay approach?

If you travel by starship to the center of the galaxy such that you arrive within a subjective human lifespan, how much radiation damage will you suffer from the interstellar vacuum?
Assume special relativity holds and ignore the problems of accelerating and decelerating the spacecraft.
At what point in the journey through the interstellar vacuum would you will suffer too much radiation damage to go on?
How did you determine the amount of radiation damage? What equations did you need? What values did you use for the variables? How did you determine those values?
