Are we, as a society, too scared to take risks? That's the question asked by a conference in London and neatly summarised by the BBC. Personally I think I agree with the conclusions that society is reluctant to do so much due to the potential for harm -- which exists in almost everything. In part this is probably fuelled by the increasingly litigious world in which we live, especially in the United States where the huge punitive damages awarded can send companies, not to mention individuals, crashing into bankruptcy.
