Does human life have INHERENT value?
#14
RE: Does human life have value?
Quote:Are you able to explain why you think human life has inherent value, and how you came to that conclusion?
For me (at least) it is axiomatic.  All things have value, human beings are things.  As a check, try to think of something - anything at all - that is utterly valueless.  Can't be done.
As Chad intimated, I'm slightly bigoted as regards human value because I have a vested interest in it - I'm human.  If I were to be attacked by, say, a wild dog, I would do what I could to protect myself, up to and including killing the dog, because I value my life more than I value a dog's.  Although the dog may operate to a different standard.  Smile
