The economic value of life



We refuse to quote the value of life in money, but in some cases it is determined a specific figure.

In this blog articles are accumulated daily publications in which readers commented with ideas about why some people have difficulty with money, do not know win, and / or can not manage, and / or repudiate it, and / or are embarrassed talking about it.

These conditions prevent, to the sufferer, harmonious development into adulthood, self-sufficiency and, especially, to the ability to collaborate with others who, for some reason, are disabled, children, sick and elderly.

This time I comment on something that happens to the price of our life.

Do not even know the person who can seriously say: "my life is worth a million dollars" (or figure out).

So we would say that it is normal that we can not establish a relationship between our existence and some money. More generally, we can not relate the value of life with the value of money.

It would be reasonable to think that a human being, "if I can not link the life with money and because life is important, then money is not important."

This reasoning would be radical enough for these people despise money.

Despite this despicable comparison (money-life), we know that there is a relationship and used whenever needed.

If someone is killed in an accident, the family may claim some compensation to who was responsible for this unfortunate event.

For example, if a man dies, the widow with children may be required to be paid to the deceased's wealth have occurred until the day of his death statistically probable.

This would be the value of his life.
