I did put a value on it. $200k.
Yet at the end of the day we will as a society do exactly that.
You place monetary value on human life everyday wether you like it or not. Speed limits, stop signs, smoking laws, buying shoes made in a sweatshop, polluting...... the list goes on.
Genuine question.....Have you got life insurance? If you do Im guessing you have asked for a monetary payout if you die..... Im thinking you dint ask for well wishes from the insurance comapny.
Its just in your face now and its a discussion that must be had and more than likely will be had.
Your position appears to be one of squashing the discussion. Rather than saying 'oh.....lets see....good point there must be a line'....you have said 'no, you cannot discuss.....'
