Is it thrown away? Or valued highly? It's hard to tell why. With abortions on the increase,certain people is screaming murder. So what is life worth? People is screaming for pedophiles, murderers to DIE. Is it right to kill them because they did wrong? But other people say if we let them live,they could improve themselves. But the death penaltly people say if they are living, there is fear. What we are to do? Kill or preserve?
But there is abused children,fear stricked people,the horrors in the world. We comfort them wherever possible. But in a chaotic Third world country, there is little hope. What the Western world are to do? To invade them with cry of "weapons of mass desuction" or feed them or what? Is life worthy of preservation? That is the question.

All people's life is worth preserving. However, when someone takes more out of the life of others than his/her own life brings to this world then the value of that person's mortal life is being spent. A person who has spent their life by using or abusing others can have a chance to make peace for their life before being sent on. But the cost of livlihood to others can not be allowed to continue growing.
It's ok to keep someone confined for the remainder of their life and financially costs less to others than sending them to death row at this point. If anyone believes it costs more emotionally to them to keep someone alive and confined than to end their offender's life then it is the offended person's fault for not being able to go on with their life at that point. I believe in keeping offenders alive, but I would want to be put to death if I had done anything like murder or destroy anyone's life. I guess that's a difference between believing and not believing in eternal life.
Should unwanted, unbord children be allowed to live regardless? Again, I believe every person's life is worth preserving. "But", the pro-life movement seems to have missed a huge point in the abortion issue. At the same time the pro-choice and pro-life movements have both lost respect for each other as brothers and sisters of the human race: God is bigger than "any" issue, if God wasn't then what is God doing with all of the millions of aborted people, is God at a loss to handle the situation? Never. If people are going to be pro-life then they need to show respect and the love of and confidence in God beyond all situations. The judgement and condemnation being dealt in the name of God are totally opposed to the Christian God (http://www.unidiversal.com/warningyield.html). The God of the Bible left the will and choices of life up to each individual and how God handles the aborted person's life is totally up to God. I would hope than no one "wants" to see a persons life killed or aborted, but some people do want as much population reduction as possible. It's just that trying to remove people's choices for themselves without respect or love for those individuals first is obsurd. And it is even more obsurd if it is being pursued due to lack of the supreme respect and faith in the God we believe is ultimately in control anyway. (http://www.unidiversal.com/god.html)
Are we to care? Yes. Are we to judge or condemn? No. Isn't it time to feed faith and starve religion, instead of people, to death? (http://www.unidiversal.com/human.html#anchor_16087)
