Finally, we can look at what religions do — almost all religions value people differently after death.

The
concept of Heaven and Hell is one of the clearest examples of this, and versions of this concept exists in
Christianity, Islam and Judaism, three of the most major religions globally. This is a system of value depending
how moral your actions were in life. In Hinduism, it is even more specific — Hindus believe in reincarnation,
and they believe that how moral you were in your life will dictate which being you become in the next life, so
for example, someone who lived a very immoral life may become a slug in the next life, while someone who
lived a more moral life may become a human. Again, this is a clear example of valuing humans differently
depending on the morality of their actions. Therefore, we can also say that, from a religious perspective, human
lives are valued very differently.

To conclude, we can see that from personal, societal, moral and religious perspectives, some human
lives are worth more than others, and are therefore valued differently, whether it's because they're more useful
to others, they're more morally ‘good,’ or they're just closer to us personally. It is naïve to say that we all are the
same value, as there are simply too many factors that mean that we're worth differently.
