Do you value human life but favor the death penalty? Do you value human life but advocate for abortion? Do you value human life but see the need for war when necessary? Do you value human life but want to limit the means by which someone defends themself from a home invader? Do you think human life is so valuable that you are willing to take life to save it?
Can anyone here genuinely say they value human life?
Or is human life nothing but a political tool? A weapon? Do you cheapen human life by using it as a political cudgel?
Is human life valuable or is it not? Truly a conundrum.
To me, human life is valuable, but what you do can either invalue (make it invaluable) or devalue it.
Going on a killing spree? You have not only devalued your victims lives by taking them, you have also devalued your own.
Defending yourself from a home invader bent on harming you? You invalue the lives of your family and find they outweigh that of the home invader.
If the value of human life is truly inestimable, then we can't truly say that human life has no value. What makes one life more valuable than another?
