A Measurement of Worth: The Currency of the Human Soul. What is the value of human life? What makes us special or important? Are human beings worth anything at all? -Or are we a lucky group that’s developed the skills of language and reason? Human worth is often measured‚ but no one has ever established a currency to judge us by. Humans are aberrant creatures and have superior ability to most of God’s creation.
