Where does this "worth" come from?
For anything to be worth anything, there has to be a starting point and a reason for it.
A empty beer can has value, but not much, but even full, it is still a can. It's CONTENTs have value.
A person, regardless if new born or 30 years old, until educated or taught something ,can do nothing but consume. Just picture a human baby that is kept in a small room and only fed and watered like a animal ,where is it's value when it gets older? What I am saying is ,until you can explain how a person has "value" and not producing, only being a consumer, will some of us actually begin to understand.
There fore a person that can do nothing ,or as in the case of dopeheads, choose to do nothing, in theory has a negative value, because they are a liability or a loss to society. Until they have "contents" ,aka Knowledge, they are of little to no value to society.
if the person has no motivation to be more than a consumer, their value will never increase.
Most of us are taught that life has value, and we respect life, it is the person miss using the life that has no value. A human that has been given Life, can become something besides a liability, they can blossom into a leader or a inventor etc.. but to try to convince me that a person that has chosen to waste that valuable life by living on the street doped up has value, will be a uphill battle.
