One of those really tricky topics right? 'How much is life worth?' I'm going to try and hit it for fun and the consolidation of my thoughts online. It helps weed out any indiscrepancies.
The immediate standard response I'd get from asking just about anyone is either, "i dunno lol," or "invaluable." But if a single life is invaluable or say, infinite value, then how much are two lives worth? Infinite value would still be the answer. And the same for 3, 4, 5 lives, 1000 lives, every life on earth is worth infinite. But that would mean that 1 life is equal to all lives put together in value, and that makes no applicable sense. To put it in a simple way - if you had to decide between saving one person live vs. saving 1000, wouldn't you always pick the latter?
Therefore, lives do have a subjective value.
Life is just a higher value, valued above all else. At least that's what I think. On an applicable level - all life is to be preserved at the cost of anything but life.
I know people though who would give up their life for a year as a celebrity, or even claim not to love life at all (although still obviously enough to take care of themselves). So obviously not everyone holds my view on the value of a life.
