Gee, it sounds like something males in power might make up to keep women in their place..... naaah
If the equality of all lives is given inherently or from an outside source then this doesn't invalidate the "all lives equal" argument. If all persons have essential and intrinsic worth despite the values WE place on ourselves and others, then it still stands that all are equal.
If all lives were "given" the same value by some outside source, then it stands to reason that that source would give all lives the same amount of potential for survival....
