@avramiebk Ultimately the question is still: " How much could i give you for the life of your loved one?.. What would a fair price be?" So it's still the life of the person being equated with $mulah$ The reasin for the settlement, and therefore the settlement itself is precisely that.

This Gent looks amazingly like Brent Spiner! You know Data from Star Trek....

by the way, I was told that in the Ford Pinto case, they were simply calculating the settlement amounts that they would have to spend, so they were not actually placing a dollar value on the lives themselves, but rather on their settlement costs for those lives (and injuries).
It may appear that that is even more repulsive and inhumane (and I would be inclined to agree) but the fact remains that this does change the case since they were not really putting a value on a human life.

To simply demonstrate how population prefer higher pleasure against intense and momentary pleasure, look at the view count of episode 1 vs the rest.

Re: Value; The value does not represent compensation-It represents "Caution or Warning"-and if the value is large enough itserves as a preventative measure,as those who have to honour it may weel find it punitive in the extreme.As such it serves to protect society.What we value is based on the nature of society.We treasure Money-Goods- Property,sometimes at the expense of life.This is an "inconvenient truth"and forces us to question our moral behaviour. Our defence becomes:everybody is doing it.

Mans Justice is lightless, and blind even as the devil is blind not caring about anyone even himself. Justice has jails we can see. The devil has jails we cannot see where he puts humans that think mans Justice is good. That jail is for final judgment in Gods light that is real judgment. That judgment is final. Eternal life of the soul or it will be eternal death of the soul. Mans wisdom is foolish seeking eternal death of the soul. Mercy gets mercy for the soul. evil for evil kills the soul.
