Let's lower the speed limit until the number of deaths in car accidents due to speed is 0 then?
In this physical universe, humans have a non-zero possibility of dying from coming in contact with other human beings directly or indirectly. You have to agree on some level of danger because trying to avoid all danger would itself cause death, by boredom and likely starvation.
Now if we're going to agree that some people should have more resources than others and if we're going to agree on trading using currencies and if we agree that lack of resources may cause someone to die, we've just put a price on human life.
I'm sorry that realities of life are upsetting to people who've been given a children's view of the world where all life is precious, but at some point, we have to grow up :)

- alexashka 6y agoYou may want to try comprehending and responding to the entire reply, not a single cherry picked sentence. Here is a sample nonsense reply I can give you based on the first part of your sentence: lowering the speed limit of a car to 0 would mean it is no longer a car, because a car is something that moves. See how my reply makes sense if I ignore the rest of your reply and yet doesn't make any sense when your reply is seen as a whole? That's not a good conversation strategy.
