When the Titanic went down, 3% of the first class passengers drowned. 
How about the third class passengers?
45%.
Only one first class passenger refused the opportunity to board the lifeboats.
How many third class passengers refused to board the lifeboats?
None. That is, none were given the opportunity as they were told to stay below deck while the ship sank. Some were held there at gunpoint.
The value of human life is directly related to the socioeconomic position of its body.
