Who Determines The Value Of Human Life?

Those who hold to the materialistic, subjective view of ethics cannot claim to have a “better” system of ethics. Better implies an ethical (prescriptive) standard, which does not exist in a materialistic (descriptive) universe. Prescriptive value statements cannot be derived from descriptive factual statements. Without objective moral laws in the universe, it would make no sense to make moral judgments.
