WHAT IS A HUMAN LIFE REALLY WORTH ? That's a good question. I mean in dollars, U.S. Dollars. Greenbacks ! When we see in the news, some rescue operation going on to save some unfortunate person, or even animal, that is in trouble, or danger, we witness great pains under-taken to save he/she/it. It gives us a warm feeling as we watch the struggle and joy at the success of the effort. Applause, interviews, reaction from loved ones or owners. A good day for us all. Humanity wins one ! Does that answer our question as to the worth of a human life ? No, but it does demonstrate there IS A VALUE and we see lt. We cannot deny it. Just ask the rescue folks and those loved ones that might have lost a precious one. How much cash (hypothetically of course) would the concerned party have been willing to lay out to guarantee the life that was at stake? 10-20-50 Thou ? Or more ? Take a minute and ask yourself how much would you be willing to pay for the rescue of YOUR child ? All you had I bet. Me too. Hope we never have to find out by being in a situation that would require such a thing. Let's, for the sake of dis- cussion, ask ourselves what would you pay for someone else's child ? Ok, while you contemplate the price of someone else's child, let's consider the price of someone else's child still in the womb. What would you pay for THAT child ? What if THAT child's "mother" was on her way to an abortion clinic ? Would you consider offering the mother 10G's to carry the child to term ? 20G's ? Think about this ! The cost of adoption of a newborn is, what ? I've seen cases where desperate parents pay 50+ in some cases. So even if you had to offer the "mother" 25G's (and I suspect most would go for 25G's cash) that would leave you with as much as 25G's profit. There we go...abortion issue solved and everybody is happy ! MARANATHA ! TH
