A new cancer drug, Avastin, that could extend the life of many advanced Cancer Sufferers by two or more years is not to be offered on the NHS. A nine month course of treatment costs around £18000 so this seems to be the price of two years of a life in Britain today.
Compare that to the estimated £200,000 it would cost to keep that same person in prison for two years. Maybe we should kill all prisoners that are jailed for more than 18 months because it would be more cost effective?
