Henry P Wynn has put together a series of essays arguing for the life of individuals. In this series, Wynn focuses on various current world situations and gathers many voices / sources for allowing you to decide what a life is worth. It is a great resource for those arguing the worth of an individual life on a college campus or class.

Since I am far removed from the need to use the expressive, wordy language which professional colleagues, tenured professors and students prefer, Wynns writing forced me to read slowly to capture the essence of what he was trying to accomplish in his essays. If most newspaper (internet now) articles are written to be understood by a 12 year old, these essays may confuse the masses or be tossed away.

The subject matter is worth having discourse and presenting to our world. Too many times, we (humans) are reduced to an equation or cost analysis which those in power are able to view in a cold, dispassionate manner. I do value life and believe every life (born or unborn) is worth saving. Wynn does make the arguments and presents the facts necessary for one to discuss. I just wish it was written in a plainer style of writing.
