Is there anything more valuable than human life?

Question

If there isn't how can any war be justified?

Your soul.

Answer 3

Yes- the planet. Without it, human life (or any life for that matter) cannot survive.

Answer 4

War can never be justified

Answer 5

your own life, by the survival instinct alone.

Answer 6

Life is nothing without an idea or thought behind it. Therefore an idea is more valuable than a life. Any life is valuable, whether it's a bear or a mosquito. However when a rock is given the idea or thought of being sacred even it is valuable. This goes well with words. Sometimes it not the actual word you say : ****

it's the idea behind it that gives it taboo, power, or nothing. Sometimes the idea of life or something having life can enable it to create such power and demand respect and valuability, even from a rock.

Answer 7

War could be justified even if human life is the most valuable thing there is. Starting a war, for example, might be the best way to save lives (in the event of an ongoing genocide.)

So whether or not war is justified does not seem to hinge on whether or not human life is the most valuable thing.
