Alden,

One needs to throw in the caveat: if enough of the "right" people
agree....

P.S., I think you would find better agreement at a number somewhat
less than 5 rem, which would allow nearly 100 rem cumulative dose to
an 18 year old (sorry Ron, I won't reflexively use SI until the
regulations get there).
