I am sorry I haven't gotten back to you. I am doing a bit of research on what exactly an absolute is. I am pretty sure that an absolute is a standard of living and not necessarily something that exists. I am still checking up on it though.

That addresses nothing about my post. From here explain how valuing someone's interest above your own means you cannot place any value on your own life.

If you believe that one should not place value on one's own life over everyone else's then that means that every one else is responsible for your life and you are responsible for your own. This means that if they want to kill you, they have the right to do it because it is in their interest to kill you. Where is the logic in that?

If one have to pay for hospital and can be killed legally, even if he's under 18, how do you call that ? A lot of people in the world would call that dictatorship. I call that USA.
And socialism DOESN'T mean you can't own what you work for. It means that even if you can't buy, food, health..., you can have it.
(USSR was a dictatorship, that's true, but every socialists nations aren't)

I am pretty sure that you can't be killed for not paying for hospital care. You will probably be put in jail, but you deserve it. Secondly, socialism explicitly states that everyone receive the same income. If one is doing a better job than another then how is that gauged in a socialist society.
