Certainly each of us assesses risk daily. In a major decision, such as where to live, the real difficulty is knowing the correct issues to assess. Availability of emergency medical care is an issue that is perfectly valid to consider ; and, in fact, would be very helpful to point out to the potential islander. The inference that raising the issue suggests that parents of island children are somehow irresponsible doesn't make much sense to me.
It is the risks we don't know about that are the dangerous ones.
