i could see how people would think that makes sense but i totally disagree im with the concept of everyone' life being infinitely precious

i totally disagree that the value of life is measured by wealth. bin laden is (or was) a millionaire, do you think his life is more valuable than yours?

to encourage a gradation on value of life is to pave the way for prejudice and other injustices.

I don't think that you could determine a person's worth just by the person's economic status. There are other aspects that have to be taken into consideration. Also the only reason money is worth anything is because people collectively believe that it is.

The same is true with everything, and that includes people.
