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?

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.
