Comment on Does life have less value to people in Latin America?

Life has the same value to every living human. Everybody has got only one, and without it, there isn’t much else.
But some do not recognize it (until late in their life).

That’s an extreme oversimplification, and that way of looking at it completely ignores people with depression and people committing suicide.
Obviously a life in suffering is more likely to cause depression, and a life in depression is subjectively worth less.

Most people have their sufferings. In the end, most people even die from some suffering or other. That is just a part of life, and you cannot substract it away from it.
I don’t know why depression should be so different from all other troubles. I don’t know why it should affect the value of life? How would you value a life with no arms and legs, for example? How would the person with no arms and legs value their own life? Have you ever asked one?

I get the point you’re making but in the context of the OP the reply didn’t seem too far off. Yours though is getting pretty close to declaring a depression epidemic in Latin America, I presume because your saw red in their reply

No that was a generalization, not specifically related to Latin America.
Regarding that read my other response.
