Abstract

The author of the article turns attention to the phenomenon
of human life, recognizing it as the value which is hard and complicated
to define. The price of a human life comprises philosophical, political,
sociological and legal issues. From the legal and philosophical aspect the
price of a human life is practically impossible to determine, since it is
worth the highest price. Determination of the price of human life means
admitting that a human is the measure of value in a certain community
under appropriate socially economic conditions. Different approaches and
methodologies are applied in determination of a materialized price of a
human life, therefore the rating of the price is varied. In determining the
price of a human life, the legal aspect is important, since it deals with the
fixation of the amount of compensations in cases of an individual’s loss of
life and calculations of the insurance costs
