Brian:
Don't forget, you get to die from it too.  ICRP 60 includes morbidity as 
does FGR-13.  It may be a nit, but rad risk people should be used to it.  I 
suppose we may be a little casual when we refer only to deaths.  I do it 
too.  Guilty as charged.

Mr. Coleman

This may be a nit, but the EPA in the evaluation of risks focuses on cancer
morbidity (i.e., incidence) rather than mortality (i.e., death) as their
endpoint of concern.  All of the HEAST factors relate to the risk of 
causing
cancer and not dying from it.
