What are they supposed to be valued for if they don't work or have expenses to pay? It wouldn't be fair to the parents who lose their child and receive nothing for their life. It would be easier; however, if they were valued on what they learned throughout their lives, even if it was a short time. We must also take into account children, and not just older people who have jobs and lead more fulfilling lives. It must be valued on more of the factors that made the child happy and that the family will remember him or her. In fact, they had a life ahead of them and don't deserve what happened to them.
