Jurors give $289 million to a man they say got cancer from Monsanto's Roundup weedkillersteemCreated with Sketch.

How much is a life worth? That's the question I have been asking this morning as I was reading posts on CNN and BBC about the $ 289 millions of dollars awarded to Dwayne Johnson, a former school groundskeeper, who ended up with terminal cancer thanks to Monsanto's weedkiller.

It won't change the fact that Dwayne Johnson will die soon. No amount of money can restore his health?

What do you think?

    Welcome the new steemians. Have a great day!

I'm sure his family has enormous medical bills plus the attorney's get a cut. In the end Monsanto and pharma companies alike have money set aside for days like these. If they paid out 289 Million, you better believe they made billion on roundup already. Capitalism. SMH

Uploaded a video on d.tube and my blog about Banning Monsanto just yesterday.
