50% is neutral. 0% is the worst thing anyone could ever do. 100% is the best thing anyone could ever do. The rest of the scaling is fuzzy but the rank order of all the options should make sense and it should be symmetrical about 50%. For strict utilitarians I suggest 60% = +1 QUALY, 70% = +1000 QUALYs, 80% = +1E6 QUALYs, 90% = +1E12 QUALYs, 100% = +infinity. 40% = -1 QUALY, 30% = -1000 QUALYs, 20% = -1E6 QUALYs, 10%=-1E12 QUALYs, and 0% =-infinity
