All lives are not equal. The value of the life of a thief whose only impact on the society is negative, cannot be compared to e.g. a doctor.

I agree with the general concept, but it's not practical to use.

What about a bad medic? Or a thief that helps homeless people in their free time?

If it was easy, we would have simpler laws and better justice systems...

Do you also define yourself according to the worst thing you've ever done?

So why would someone risk his live and become a thief instead of a doctor?
