I really don't think that example has anything to do with what you were talking about. Your example is situational and does not at all imply that the baby has any less actual worth than the terrorist, but that the terrorist is the one applicable to that situation.
The point is - yes, people do put worth on human life. People think that some people are worth more than others. However, that's perception, that's our desire to classify and rank ourselves. No one really has any more worth than another. We like to think they do, that "we" are better than "they" but if you look, really look, we're all just people.
Afterall, who's the authority on how much a person is worth? Do we give that power to the government simply because we are governed by them? Should it then be OK to dispose of less worthy people? Understand this is the same line of thinking that was/is behind hate crimes against groups of people and mass genocides like the Holocaust.

the middle part of what you are saying is almost exactly what I was trying to say this whole time.

What the fuck are you on about?
Alright, I'll put a value on you. You'll be either working class or middle class. Because of your views, I'm going to say middle class. You don't seem to have very strong morals, and you can't figure out where the shift key is. You come to about a fiver.

i know where the shift key is. i use it all the time. especially at the beginning of sentences.
and how is everyone who is middle class supposed to be like what you just described. just because we have good jobs doesn't mean were bad. also the shift key is a good key.
