My answer: 7

I agree with chickentribs about the base value of human life, thus I cannot give a 2 or 3 as most of you have. I understand the reasoning some may have for giving a higher response number too, but I feel that while human life has some base value, many humans often do not exhibit it, and there would be far too much leeching off of those with drive and fortune by those who did not. While I encourage a welfare system of some kind, those who have their money should be entitled to keeping it if they want to.
