Most people's extent of their knowledge on asbestos is that it's bad. That's it. Black and white issue in their mind.

Not to say that it isn't harmful, not to say I know much about it either, but obviously asbestos isn't all bad by definition if it's used in a necessary stage of manufacturing processes for products and goods that people use.

Last I checked Carcinogens are bad.

That's like saying "sharp things are bad because they injure and kill people". It's ignoring the fact that sharp things can be used to our benefit. Asbestos prevents fires. That much I know is true. Is it so hard to see why preventing fires is a benefit?

So you would happily give peoplw cancer to prevent a fire? Actually look up the sheer number of people affected by it before defending it. In the case of asbestos the ends do not justify the means.
