The value of life...
I was looking up the composition of the human body and it contains 2e-7 kg of gold, which leads me to think that the Austrians now have a sure fire way of measuring the value of a human life...it is: 2e-7 x 2.2 / 14.58 x spot price of gold. :-)

Might want to be careful of accusing an economic theory of believing that human beings have a worth tied to a commodity
.
Though we all know Austrians value gold at infinity, and its market price is simply an abhorration of government maipulation and sheeple behaving like lemmings.
All in fun, fellas!

Fun fact: the EPA has calculated the value of the average human life at $7.4 million.

Human behavior is economic behavior. The particulars may vary, but competition for limited resources remains a constant.
