The Value of Life

Abstract

Morally speaking, there is something deeply repellent about the counting of the cost where the benefit in question is a human life. Morally speaking, there is something absolutely unacceptable about the compressing of a human life into the monetary units of the economic market. A life is an infinite treasure that cannot, must not command a market value. A life, transcending all price, is not a thing to be bought and sold in a car-boot sale.
