HOME Eclectic	Mesothelioma: cancer, greed and profits Mesothelium is a tissue that forms the lining of several cavities inside the human body, in particular, the abdomen and chest. When exposed to asbestos and sometimes also as a result of heavy smoking, the tissue in question can become affected by mesothelioma, a tumor that often is cancerous.   The treatment of this cancer can cost well up to a million dollars, if it is successful at all, and when it is the result of exposure to asbestos due to someone's negligence, it provides a good reason for legal action. The fair compensation for contracting the mesothelioma cancer can exceed a million dollars and may even reach the next order of magnitude when a good lawyer is hired to handle this issue. The 'fair' compensation for a good mesothelioma attorney is probably in the same range, which is why this is such a great business.  One can wonder if attorneys' profits as high as the compensation for someone's misfortune as deadly as mesothelioma are ethically justified. Well, those who eventually get compensated probably don't mind it, so let us not dwell upon it as this is not necessarily our business. What can be of more reasonable interest is the fact that these profits could be tapped into by other smart people. Moreover, in this case you profit not from someone's tragic misfortune, but from someone else's greed, so perhaps, as Mr. Gekko would like you to believe, "greed is good," after all.  How can you do this? Well, that's something I will try to tackle in the second part of this article one of these days. Meanwhile, perhaps the ads on this page will serve a hint or two as to how this can be done...
