Lord Sumption’s comments on the value of human life are remarkably insensitive, and surprisingly silly . As a retired academic with stiffening joints, I fully accept that I’m less valuable as a roofer than the man who fixes my chimney, but I’m not less valuable as a person than he is. Sumption is confused about comparatives. Dr Malcolm MillarLiverpool
🙄can’t believe anyone with half a brain would read the Guardian. Absolute trash.
Isn’t what doctors do? Don be hypocritical.
Anyone that uses the title 'Lord' is almost certainly a paedophile.
The fact that you Brits still have a monarchy and peerages that entrenches ancient hereditary privilege seems to put value on some human life at birth.
Eugenics. The man is a nutter
No, however, 10 quid for a haircut is good value, just saying
Too late to object - the government has already made it clear care home residents’s lives didn’t matter and just about anyone else who has had their operations cancelled indefinitely.
NewSpeak begins
Yes you can! Insurance companies do every single day.
Young people to make a sacrifice to save a life, or young people go to the cinema with friends at the cost of a life?
I watched the debate. When he said his grandchildren's life was worth more than his I understood exactly what he meant. A sentiment borne of love is it not? But collectively we can't weight life. Young people are asked to make sacrifices so their grandad can live. Society.
Is he Lab Sumption or Con Sumption?
Who the hell is that and why did he become so important today? Am I missing something or is his position less important than the lives around me?
Odd piece of bric-a-brac, usually ends up covered in dust in the attic!
Who would’ve thought a man with such an untidy barnet would be causing outrage with his words
May be we should have an 'Experian' like individual value report. Is his valuation style the basis of Harper & Baker's CRG evaluation into ending the restrictions and costing the deaths of the unessentials they must have identified but not disclosed the demographics
Well you must. Only then can the AI driven car know who to hit when it has to. Only then you can know how many doctors you should employ to save 1 patient. Only then you can define the scale of military operation to save 1 captive . Its not inhumane just economics.
Too many missing his point here.
C**t

Typical guardian totally misquoted article, just because he does not share your political views does not mean you can be dishonest.
Nonsense. Doctors and health professionals have to do it every day. You couldn't responsibly run a health service without such analysis. Spineless virtue-signallers don't even begin to understand.
Bit of a misquote, he didn't say that.
That way, the gas chambers await. WTF happened UK? The ruling classes have truly shat the bed currently. The mask is off with this lot now eh?
You've never heard of life insurance...
Old people passing onto to the next world is a good thing.
Arse.
Can someone get the Tories a chuffing comb? And a sense of humanity. Ta.
I wonder if - in response to the BLM protests, he said “Actually, ALL lives matter!”
Do pedo lives have value?
OF SAME BLOOD, OF SAME BLOOD, your life matters and mine too. ENO.
