Oh.I see,who or..."what" give the value of a life..In my humble opinion every life is important.
So, life has a relative value?

I referred to this as a matter of personal conscience.
I do have question though, what if some sort of plague had too break out in, lets say your neighbourhood, wreaking havoc and spreading disease too both elderly and young. Would it then be okay to kill all of those creatures?
I never take the life of an ant in my...conscious life.
My question has a lot of other meanings more from the philosophically point and real,related to us as individuals.

Understood but I am merely suggesting that this is not a "black and white" subject, especially if you refer it to being "personally concious" , for example if you were attacked by somebody or something and it is a matter of life and death for both parties, well then things become a little more subjective than sparring the life of an insect.
Not trying to spark off an argument here just want you to consider the "wild card" possibilities.

That why I was referring to it as "...conscious life",to realize what and what not, and that is why the death penalty is a controversy,my point of view is more from a philosophically point ,related to real life as we are like ants on this planet.
This just isn't true and isn't possible. You kill ants that you don't even notice. If you drive a car, you are killing tons of bugs
Agreed ,as then occur the natural instincts of defense,they come and we no longer think rationally.

I once saved a woman from drowning whilst surfing in the north of spain.
Interesting story.
i always think, if i had obeyed the crown prosecution service there would be a family without a mother and grandmother. I broke the law but i saved a life was i wrong?
...conscious life.
I repeated that the difference between taking a life being aware of it and take a life without being aware.
Are you sure about that?
Wow that is touching,thanks for sharing,I think you're a happy person.
I talk to the trees, flowers, grass, sky, sun, wind ..just everything. And I thank them all for the joy it give's me and the life it shares with me
