Listen, NO one gives a damn about anything or anyone until it effects them.
Michael J Fox never gave a damn about Parkinsons until he got it.
The reeves family never gave a damn about spinal cord injusies until chris broke his neck.
Betty Ford never cared about a disease until she claimed alcoholism was a disease. If that were true then you couldn't be arrested for driving with a medical condition... Alcoholism.
The list goes on and on and on.
Keep it in your head because no matter what you do in your job your Boss doesn't give a damn about you when he goes home in his company paid Mercedes Benz to his mansion with the inground heated swimming pool and jacuzzi.

Yes one man life matters as much as millions of others. If you looked at every one man and said that his life didn't matter but you said that millions of lives do, then you would just be lying to yourself. Because every one man that there is makes up the million other people so a person can't really say that one life doesn't matter as much as say one million does.

It's all perspective. If you have to kill one man to save a million then to those million that one man is very special. Somewhere there is someone that does care about this person, and has a signifigance to. Another example, your father, whether you get along with him or not, he is significant to you. Because if he did not exist then you would not exist. So every life has significance in one way or another.

If it does matter, then everyone's life matters and is significant. If on the other hand, you believe that one life is worth less than a million, then you should be willing to apply this to all lives(i,e, your own life is worth less than a million other lives.) The important thing is to be consistent.

Sometimes you must sacrifice the life of one person for the good of everyone else. That is our justice system. Sometimes an innocent man dies in the gas chamber so that we can execute all the other murderers.

Depends who the person is. I would gladly trade 1,000,000 homeless people for one Albert Einstein to enhance the knowledge of society.

the life of one as opposed to the lives of many? nothing.... not even john Kennedy, or martin Luther king, but i can think of lots of cases when the death of one would have preserved many....Hitler comes to mind.
