How do you value life?

[Quackthulu2]

Do you think all human live is inherently valuable. Like every human life from conception to death is equal.

Or do you think that value is gained or lost due to a person’s deeds in life. Like a scientist or a doctor are more valuable people than a rapist or a murderer.

All human life in inherently valuable

Value is gained or lost based on who the person is.

[Agape93]

If the two, B, clearly.

But personally I have no value for life unless I have a reason to do so. I value you because I adore you, for example. But 99% of this world can burn for all I care.

[Quackthulu2]

Of course, I am god damn adorable.

[Agape93]

You absolutely are

[MementoMori777]

We shouldn't be the ones to choose when people die but it doesn't mean you can't have an opinion on them, if you think they deserve to die then that's an understandable opinion based on what they do

[Quackthulu2]

So you think that people should not judge other people?

[MementoMori777]

Nope but we end up doing it anyways cause we are imperfect, and people have opinions, that's normal but to choose to take a life because you decided they don't deserve it is evil, even if that other person is evil and you believe they deserve what you gave them, you are just as evil as them cause you did the same thing, you are no different then they are.

[MementoMori777]

I'm not speaking of situations you are just defending yourself of course, that's completely different

[slatyb]

From conception? That's not a person, that's just an unconscious bit of protoplasm. Until the brain develops starting in the third trimester, there's no one there.

[Quackthulu2]

That wasn’t the question.

[Agape93]

Not even close

[LazerBean]

I think everyone is conceived with an inherent human value. I think people can decrease that value based on things they do in life.

[Quackthulu2]

So you feel that a person’s value can’t be gained, only lost?

[LazerBean]

Yes.

[Quackthulu2]

Interesting.

[PointTaken]

Totally up to the person. They depreciate their own worth.

[najekim]

Life is valued by what you do. Not who you are.

life is same for everyone... we don't know the future. but being alive everyone equally important
