True, but that's much harder to estimate (because real world QALY data) and involves more uncertainty (how many QALYs to expect after revival?) and I didn't want that much work - just a quick estimate.

However, I'm guessing someone else has done this properly at some point?

Note: I have not, so do not use my 200 QALYs as an anchor.

Yes. Because instructing people to avoid anchoring effects works.
