I've been thinking about this for a while. Do you think the price you pay for a service should determine the value of your life on that service?

Edit: f**k! Can someone move this since I post this in the wrong fourm by mistake!

What about drug abusers?  Or smokers?  Or other people who do other life threatening, retarded stuff?  Should a smoker be given free medical treatment to save them from lung cancer?  Should an alcoholic be given free medical treatment to replace a diseased liver?

I don't think they should.

What about them?

They're still human beings, and they are still entitled to proper health care. Just b/c they made a bad decision doesn't make them any less worthy of treatment.

Yes.

Should those people receive treatments to ween them of their addictions? Yes. If doctors were treating people to get them off of heroin, it would be safer to give them medical grade heroin than to trust the guy on the corner. If there was a charge, it would be far cheaper than on the street. Not to mention that the patient isn't going to be a repeat customer as his dosage is going to be cut down each time he visits the doctor.

Sorry I made this topic before I went to school and I did not had the time to post anything. I think  Money should determine your value of life because you earned it.

No, money should never determine the value of human life. ¡Viva la medicina socializada!

Money is only cheap plastic/paper/metal.

I do think it should be equal but, at the same time people you have work hard all their life to earn good mney deserve more money  than people that haven't bothered to do a lot.

You have people born into money, celebrities, sports stars, and a lucky few entrepreneurs. Not many of the people who control a great deal of the wealth actually worked very hard to get it (not to say that there aren't some who do). The hardest working people don't make a lot of money.

Money isn't even a good indicator of your importance to society. A teacher is much more important than a baseball player, and certainly works harder for their money, yet makes a fraction of what the sports star makes.

Is a construction worker raising a family, less valuable than a young bachelor CFO?

There should never be a reason why someone dies of a preventable/curable ailment because they don't have the money.

There is a great deal more to life than money.
