thorne Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 I had a conversation here at the office that human life had a dollar value and that on some peice of paper somewhere the goverment puts a price on what a human life is worth in the term of war. Wel I pissed off a few people here badly. I honestly thought it was fucking stupid to get mad at facts. well here is a nice article to backup what I was saying. http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1808049,00.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryBMW Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 That's 129k PER YEAR of a quality life...aka not sick. Why is this surprising to people? Insurance companys have been doing this for YEARS and so has the government. Sometimes it is cheaper to send in live humans than to use the technology... -Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngryBMW Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 Yes but some people hate to think of the facts. I mean here is an easy way to win your argument... Ask the person how much life insurance they have...then tell them that is what their life is worth. -Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinner Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 My boys cost just under ! million to be born when you add up birth hospital time and needed surgerys. My wife and I are worth 1.5 mill each per our life policies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sol740 Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 There is truth in what you say. However one would argue that value of life is relative, and expotentially increases to relatives ... I'm sorry, I had to do that ... ban me now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
