.. So I'm going to restrict myself, at least when I think about it, to versions that say, it's the life of a person per se that's valuable.

所以我会坚持，至少是对我来说，我会坚持，作为人活着的本身是有价值的这种观点。

So, it's something like the life of a person that, when we say, when there are people who are inclined to say, that being alive per so is valuable, presumably what they mean is being alive as a person per se is valuable.

所以这差不多就是人的生活，当说到，当人们说到，活着本身是有价值的，我们便假设它的意思是,作为人活着的本身是有价值的。
