It gets even more complicated, legally, for people not cookies

https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/business/wonk/settlements/

"In one corner of the law, minorities and women are often valued less"

----------------------------------

"In one case, when a 6-year-old girl and a male fetus were killed in the same car crash, the settlement for the fetus was calculated to be up to 84 percent higher than the girl’s, according to court records. "

(I'm not trying to defend their cookie sale)
