Value of life What is the value of life? The value of life can be seen in many different perspectives. Common sense seems to dictate that the value of life is based on financial income not morality. Many people assume that there is no sense of morality when they put a price on a life. We live in a world where people come from different cultures, morals, and traditions; it is impossible for us to be the same. Every life is worth the same. No life is worth the same. Some lives are worth less than others. Some lives are worth more than others. Life is valued on a scale based on the carrier paths you have taken. Life is valued based on economical class.
