The Value of Life (theory)

The Value of Life theory explores the worth or significance of human existence and the ethical implications of actions that affect life. It considers factors like well-being, quality of life, and potential contributions to society. Philosophically, it raises questions about how to assign value to life in different situations, such as in healthcare, environmental issues, or social policies. This theory helps guide decisions about resource allocation, healthcare prioritization, and moral responsibilities, emphasizing that every life holds intrinsic value and that our choices impact individuals and communities.
