What is valuable to one person is different from another. A billion dollars cannot give you a hug that you desperately need, when you need it, exactly how you need it.
That's not objectivity, that's mass subjectivity.If you can get every single person on earth to look at one person and all of them agree to the same number on whatever objective scale, then it's possible.

I heartily disagree. The life of the Buddha and the life of Bernie Madoff are far from equally valuable.Every life is equal in value.

Yes, everyone is equal in the eyes of the Lord, if you'd like to put it that way. Actions are not, and actions define a man's worth, not his species.
