This seems
weird
. Comparing
putative
lives
forgone
to actual lives saved is, to put it politely, a strange moral calculation. And the empirical basis for itis, in any case, doubtful. Alisa Baer, a
paediatrician
in New York who specialises in car-seat safety and who says she has installed at least 15,000 such seats over the years (she is known as “The Car SeatLady”), says that this part of the paper is “completely
preposterous
”. Children’s car seats, she says, “save the quality oflife” of children who would suffer higher rates of injury compared with simply belting up—including massive
abdominal
trauma
and
paralysis.
A recent study by Mark Anderson at the University of Washington and Sina Sandholt at Columbia University
bears
this point
out.
