What Is the Value of Human Life?

In 1912, the value of a human life was $1. That's less than our modern equivalent of $200 million. We should calculate that and bring it back in another episode. I don't think I would put it past a JP Morgan type to value an investment over the lives of hundreds of people. But then again, how do you force it to hit an iceberg? Like did they mess with the route? How would you accomplish this?
