No society before Torah or without Torah attributed intrinsic value to human life?

Bullshit of the highest quality.

Plenty of examples really. Lots of ancient "Pagan" cultures valued life. An example would be the Ancient Irish who practised medicine and dignified burial rituals. Even warlike nations such as the Greeks valued life they just lived in a time when war was the way of the world, nobody knew better. You'll see that the value of human life increases as humanity advances intellectually and society changed. When life was about day to day survival then it wasn't valued much as anyone could die at any point. When settlements developed people would usually live longer as the settlement advanced. It was no longer as much of a struggle to survive so life was valued more as it was not a burden. You'll often find that in lands where food and water were plentiful human life was valued more than those in which it was a struggle to raise a family.

which jews would that be, honey? i've never heard of a jew who claimed that their religion values human life more than any other. quite to the contrary, actually. i think you've been hoodwinked by messies.

the vedics of india and the ancient egyptians built their entire philosophy around the value of human life. the egyptians loved life so much that they went to great extents to replicate it in the after life. every jew i know is aware of this, so you should check your anti-semitism at the door.

True if you're extremely narrow-minded.

Yea, we have reason to praise him forever, for he is the Most High God, and has loosed our brethren from the chains of hell.
