It's a stupid question because no life has any specific value. To someone that person is worth every dollar on the planet (maybe that someone is themselves).
Saving a life is too general of a question.

Human life is just not very valuable. Yes, I just said that; and you know what? The facts are on my side. If we actually valued human life, and not just those we know/care about, there wouldn't be a billion+ people living in poverty around the world. How many people here sponsor a child in another country for $20/month or whatever it costs?
Everyone will claim they value human life, but there's little evidence to support that assertion. Never been sure I could trust those things or not. "Just pennies a day" always had a ring of dishonesty to it, to me. I donate to direct causes as often as possible. I don't have a lot but I give what I can. Could I give more? Sure, but that doesn't mean I don't value human life. I can imagine no scenario where I've supported the killing of humans. It's never happened. I value human life. _________________ Tanzania¹²

Think about it: If Bin Laden was happy he probably wouldn't have conspired with Geroge W. Bush to kill all those people.

I am kind of trolling because I knew exactly how Roland would respond to my post but I am actually being honest about how I feel.

I guess we might just have different ideas of what it means to "value human life".

Well, it's definitely up for interpretation; but it's easy to SAY one values human life, it's altogether a different thing to prove it on an ongoing basis.
Also, if you were to say that in front of my real-life friends, I think they'd laugh loudly. (Assuming I try to act selflessly a lot.)

There's a lot of those too. So what, in your opinion, does it mean to value human life? Honestly curious now. _________________ Tanzania¹²
