Yes! Valuing a human life is an important part of Risk Management, in many areas of business, finance and government.

It may seem a cold and calculating approach, but take for example the situation where a government, with a limited budget, must choose between two road infrastructure projects. The projects can be evaluated on the benefits to the community from reduced travel time for example, but another concrete benefit would be improved road safety.

Placing a value on a human life facilitates the justification of these projects in their own right, and also assists with the difficult deicsion to proceed with one project over another.

Should a Christian ever disobey the government and if so when?

A Christian can disobey the government when it makes a direction that, in the view of the courts, is contrary to the Constitution. A Christian can also disobey the government when it makes a direction that is contrary to its own legislation. In some circumstances, a Christian is permitted to disobey the government when it directs that person to take an action that is contrary to his or her conscience. So, a person is permitted to refuse active military service on the grounds of conscience, and a health worker is permitted to refuse to perform an abortion on the same grounds. This exemption does not extend to harrassing or obstructing others who obey the government.
