Does human life have INHERENT value?

RE: Does human life have INHERENT value?
(June 22, 2015 at 1:13 pm)FatAndFaithless Wrote: I don't think anything has 'inherent' value.  Value by definition is a judgment about something by a mind, as in a mind is required to place the value in the first place and thus the 'value' of something isn't inherent to the object/idea itself.

And a nice demonstration of this is all the christian apologists out there who assert that without god, life has no inherent value, which by corollary implies that the inherent value of life is dependent on god, making it a judgment of god's mind, and not inherent at all, as human beings attained their value via god, and there are circumstances under which a human being would not have that value in the view of the apologist.
