Abstract
This paper extends research originally concerned with the life, death, and safety decisions of an individual [1,2,3,4,5] to the case of a couple, two people who have a mutual interest in each other’s well-being. The original work showed how the question of placing a value on life was improperly framed. The inadequacy of the frame appears when we observe that few, if any, people would exchange their lives for any sum of money. We shall begin with a review of the case for the individual, and then extend it to the case of a couple. As we shall see, analyzing the case of a couple introduces several factors unique to that case, including the issue of how to combine both individual and mutual interests.
