Please please tell me you'd like to rephrase this!





Agreed fairly bad statement (sorry). Although we already attach a monetary amount to life, or we wouldn't be in this predicament, all medication would be free as would food, etc. I meant it in the way that we're going to have to figure out when enough is enough ie, spending 500k on grandma (who might not live another 6 mo.) vs 500k on your child who might live another 60 years. This would be an example of attaching a monetary value to a life.

Again sorry to offend, but I'm afraid that attaching monetary value to life is and has been happening for centuries.
