(Classic X'er) How much is a life worth?
We have prisons as deterrents for murder and for crimes that can easily result in murder such as rape, arson, and armed robbery.
We have the police busting speeders and drunk or drugged drivers.
We spend huge amounts of money on hospitals and medical research.
We have fire departments.
We spend huge amounts of money on road reconstruction to make highways safer.
We celebrate people who save lives and we vilify killers. We treat mass death as great tragedy.
We have peace movements.
Anything else would be inhuman.

The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
