Prof. Dworkin has got two models to evaluate the worth of a life -
- Model of Impact - where an indiviadual life form brings a change to the objective values of the world and
- Model of Challenge - where a life is appreciated as if it is an art form and living the life (not just life) takes the centerstage.
I guess in a real world, as and when needed, we apply both the models. On the other hand, in a geo-political sense, worth of a life depends on the value a nation/society places on its citizen. Otherwise how do you explain some countries declaring zero tolerance on terrorism and countries like India still not sure on how to treat the terrorism.
