Value of a human life Value of human life can differ because of multiple things. According to some articles some people are worth more than others depending on their occupations.

Imagine being in one of those families and your loved one dies and says ok they're only worth 50,000$ and we can't give you anymore because this other person is worth 100,000$. That would suck."Mr. Feinberg, my husband was a fireman and died a hero at the World Trade Center. Why are you giving me less money than the banker who represented Enron? Why are you demeaning the memory of my husband?" Very mad families.
