| Dec 21, 2022 at 1:57 | comment | added | Mary | @AskAboutMonica Except that nothing could have instrumental value unless something had intrinsic value -- because of what value is an instrument that can't obtain something of value except to get another instrument, of value to get another instrument. . . finally at the end of the sequence there has to be something of value in itself. | |

| Dec 19, 2022 at 11:06 | comment | added | user14511 | Does this answer your question? Is there a school of thought that considers human less significant than other beings? | |

| Jan 10, 2022 at 19:19 | comment | added | Just Some Old Man | “I think most people would choose the person” - I don’t see this. I’m confident most (for example) American dog owners would choose the life of their dog than that of a random peasant in Turkmenistan. The humanistic ideal is long gone. Have you seen the flippant, extreme idolization of pets online, especially on YouTube? Compared to their life-friend, what’s one random poor guy in a country they’ve never heard of to them? | |

| Jul 5, 2016 at 13:56 | comment | added | Luís Henrique | If I correctly understand, what you are aiming at is a distinction (or lack thereof) between a situation in which my immediate action is evidently required (should I grab John and pull him out of the fire, or should I do that to Rex?) and a situation in which my actions are, apparently at least, much less urgent (should I spend my money trying to heal my dog, or trying to heal people who are far away, who I am not seeing, and who I do not know personally?) If that is your question, I would expand a little more in a proper answer; it is a quite interesting discussion. | |

| Sep 1, 2015 at 16:33 | comment | added | Ask About Monica | Some human lives have a negative value; we're better off with them gone. A bent stick has more value than them. More generally, in regard to value, you have to ask "value to whom", since values are a tool for an individual's decisions. | |

| Aug 28, 2015 at 18:33 | comment | added | DTR | This question would seem to have different answers depending on who answers it - e.g. a Utilitarian, and Anthrpocentrist, and a Biocentrist would all have different 'correct answers'. | |
