because of brain damage: Damasio’s idea is known as the “somatic
marker hypothesis” and it has gathered substantial support: Antonio R.

Science.” The technologies and substances used in these studies are not
alternative solutions to the same problem. In realistic problems, where
competitive solutions are considered, the correlation between costs and
benefits must be negative; the solutions that have {ns problems,the largest
benefits are also the most costly. Whether laypeople and even experts
might fail to recognize the correct relationship even in those cases is an
interesting question.

nothing in between: Paul Slovic, who testified for the apple growers in the
Alar case, has a rather different view: “The scare was triggered by the
CBS 
60 Minutes broadcast that said 4, 000 children will die of cancer (no
probabilities there) along with frightening pictures of bald children in a
cancer ward—and many more incorrect statements. Also the story
exposed EPA’s lack of competence in attending to and evaluating the
safety of Alar, destroying trust in regulatory control. Given this, I think the
public’s response was rational.” (Personal communication, May 11, 2011.)
