If every life is of infinite (or equal) value you would treat all people the same, no expense would be spared.

Yet with limited resources there’s only so much you can do – value judgements are made based on ‘quality of life’ all the time. Age, mental and functional capacity, comorbid medical conditions. On the individual level it seems heartless – all people are of equal value. On the other hand it would be irresponsible not to use what we have for those who will most benefit from it.

But more than that, death desecrates God’s image, robs him of his most valued possession and destroys everything good. To God, life is the heaviest thing there is.

Is the bible’s understanding of life and death more nuanced than that? Cf Gen 3:19, Gen 3:22, Gen 6:3, Heb 9:27. What you’re describing I’d call murder, not death.

Just thinking out loud…
