Abstract
As the admittedly provocative subtitle suggests, the consequences of wrongful death will be looked at from a slightly different angle as compared to the other contributions on this topic contained in this volume. Since it was meant to be more of a summary than a substantive analysis, references to these other papers will be made throughout.
The author would like to point out that the following was designed as an oral presentation for a live audience. Neither text nor structure have been altered substantially for publication purposes, and footnotes have only been added where necessary.
