Life is so meaningful when we use it in some benefited way. In general way life is high cost to this survival world. But in other sense is life not a expense of money , no one can buy a life or purchase or something.
I describe some articles which is taken by http://www.technologyreview.com/biomedicine


Last year, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Provenge, a treatment made by the biotechnology company Dendreon, for men with advanced prostate cancer. Clinical trials showed that Provenge extended life by an average of four months. Then came the price tag: $93,000 for a course of treatment.

In March, Medicare, the U.S. federal program to provide health coverage to the elderly, announced that it would cover Provenge. Yet the announcement came only after a national review, a process normally reserved for complex or controversial coverage decisions. Patient advocates worried that the cost had made Medicare hesitate to pay. Weighing the price of a drug in a coverage decision would have broken a long-standing precedent for Medicare, and there's no evidence that it actually happened. But perhaps it should.

Life is very valuable for every man. New technology becomes life easier. In Bangladesh, people purchase medicine without medical prescription,cross the road without using foot over bridge, don't obey the traffice rules. Sometime time is much valuable than life.

People dont know how can maintain the valuable life. They take nonstop smoking without any hesitation, maintaining bad etiquette continuously, they dont know but they must pay for this. life is expensive but it is not sold for unusual things...
