There is not enough money in the world to price any human life. People all do different things with their lives than others--they write books, make movies, or take over countries and bomb innocent people. That doesn't change the value of their life. It simply changes what has to be done about their life.
No matter who it is--you can pick anyone in the world--there is someone (a mother, father, brother, sister, wife, child, cousin, teacher...) who will value that one persons life as priceless. And there will always be another person (an enemy, a competitor, a terrorist, an assassin, a murderer) who will be more than happy to value that life at $5.
Life in itself is priceless. No dollar amount will ever be able to compare.

We should never place an amount on life. Everybody is different and is part of God's creation. Everybody's life is priceless. If I had to choose it would be absolutely nothing. Why should one of us be worth more than the other? We're just human beings. Think about it. If no one was here on Earth, would peace exists? Of course. We're turning mother nature into our own creation. In the end there will be peace and in the end shall we see God again.

That depends on the person. If their Martin Luther King Jr. or Osama bin Laden, it obviously varies.
But, since everyone is different and unique, there actually isn't a "dollar amount" on human life. Humans are pretty much priceless.
Cheers!

Why in the blue hell are you asking this in the hockey section
But right now the only thing i can come up with is that your human life deserves a Sheldon Souray slapshot between the eyes to make you snap out of it and have a good day

You posted this under hockey?! Ok, of course there is no dollar amount for which one should trade a life, however the sum paid to a family by a party responsible for one's wrongful or accidental death should be at least twice that person's potential life earnings (imo).

The chemicals you get if you take all the water out of a person's body....$15.00*
The water you would need to put back....$ $18.00*
The knowhow to re-assemble all these chemicals and the water into a person.....$1,000,000,000,000.000,000.00*
The life created....Priceless!
Give the "Master Charge" of your life!

*My estimate, only. I don't claim any accuracy here. However, the market usually says that you are worth what someone will pay for you. Jesus Christ died for you- so you were worth an unlimited amount to Him! And, in dying, He was abused more than any hockey player on record!

Answer is that their is no amount.
Human life, even the lowest form (like Chelios or any Calgary Flame) is still more valuable than any amount of money.

There is no amount. How can anyone possibly place an amount on another human ?? It's NOT possible. WE all have Moms, Dads, sisters, brothers, children, grandkids...............I love my kids, and my granddaughter more then LIFE. There is no amount in Sybil's book. ~~~

Human life is priceless, unless the person has committed a crime against life then they have de-humanized themselves and deserve what they get.
