I am at a loss now and I don't understand what this world is coming to.

Since when is it possible to put a dollar amount on a person’s life?

My heart is breaking for the families who lost loves ones in the recent tragedies and the people that witness them. However, accidents happen every day, if we seek compensation for witnessing these events.

How is this going to help?

Where does this end?

If we come across a car accident are we going to be able to sue the driver because of the trauma we may find ourselves dealing with after. But what if the driver dies because of injuries received? What then would you be able to sue the grieving family members?

I truly hope not because not only would that be cruel and disrespectful, it would be proving that some human beings value money more than a person’s life.
