Money for murder?

Uh no. I don't think I'd be able to kill anyone for any amount of money. I don't think it's possible to set a price on human life?

Actually, I read in an article about a week ago that the EPA has estimated the average American life is worth about 6.9 million. The government then takes these figures and uses them to decide whether or not to pass a ruling.

 Spoiler

When drawing up regulations, government agencies put a value on human life and then weigh the costs versus the lifesaving benefits of a proposed rule. The less a life is worth to the government, the less the need for a regulation, such as tighter restrictions on pollution.

Consider, for example, a hypothetical regulation that costs $18 billion to enforce but will prevent 2,500 deaths. At $7.8 million per person (the old figure), the lifesaving benefits outweigh the costs. But at $6.9 million per person, the rule costs more than the lives it saves, so it may not be adopted.

On Topic: I couldn't take another person's life. I'd get to thinking about the victim's loved ones, emotions etc etc.
