This workbook contains our cost-effectiveness analysis.

Estimates for a few parameters are included in the "Moral weights" tab. If you'd like to see how our results would change based on different inputs for these parameters, you can make a copy of this workbook and enter your own values in the "Anyone" column and select "Anyone" from the dropdown menu on that tab.

Expanding the formula bar at the top of the page (by clicking and dragging the bottom boundary) may make it easier to read the contents of explanatory cells.
