My friend`s J&J hip implant

Your friend's suffering represents a real conundrum without a crisp and perfect answer.

There is a learning curve in the development of complex products. Combine that with an imperfect knowledge of exactly how to replace failed body components and bad possibilities emerge exponentially.

The costs involved in perfecting implants will mostly be borne by future potential recipients. They'll either pay more or forgo opportunities.

Were I on a jury I'd be sympathetic to compensatory damages, but extremely wary of claims that DuPuy was intentionally negligent.

Again, a conundrum that should be more subject to economic analysis than emotional reaction.
