Of course!
Just because you've done something particularly horrific or amazing, doesn't make someone's life any better than someone else's.
A life is just a life.
The things you do decide how easy it is to live your life.
If you're a killer or something, it's gonna get harder, and
vice versa.
In the end, it comes down to opinion. Say there was a gew girl in school, she finds it easy to make friends, she's pretty, and all the rest of it. Some people would rater be her than the average teenager with acne.
Soz, i kinda went off the point.

Yes, I think all human life is of equal worth. However, that doesn't mean to say that I don't think people who intentionally hurt others should not be punished - on the contrary, I believe in an eye for an eye!

That is a personal question as worth is a personal measure. How do you express worth to another? It is all relative, do you consider all human life to be of equal worth? Your personal answer is the only one that matters. My answer is my own, based on my own systems of derivation and therefore bears no relation to how you should think about it. I think the answer is No.
I know some scumbags and I don't care what you say about potential, potential is not worth. Just because a cow turd has potential to be transformed into food by biological processes, cow turd has no worth as food. At least in my opinion anyway.

We are all born equal all because you are less intelligent or attractive etc it does not mean your life is any less worth living or should have less right to exist. However a person through their life is judged by their actions and to commit e.g Murder,rape,violence etc will surely lessen their worth as a human being

The answer comes as a question.
Would you class Mother Theresa and Adolf Hitler to be of equal worth?
Consider what they both achieved in their approach to their fellow men/women.

no people who harm children intentionally. rapists terrorists who target innocent people and not the governments who won't listen to them.world rulers who let people starve and die while they live in comparative luxery.These will never be of equal worth

ofcourse not, the value of human life can only be measured by its ability to improve other lives.

it starts off equal but then people devalue it with the way they behave towards other living things and the actions they take!

No. People who are a drain on and damage society have less value than people who support and improve society.
