Utility is often measured in dollars. If I had created the Bomb scenario, I would have specified life/death in terms of dollars as well. Like, “Life is worth $1,000,000 to you.” That way, you can easily compare the loss of your life to the $100 cost of Right-boxing.
If it’s about utility, then specify it in terms of utility, not death or dollars.
