In some languages (i.e., italian and spanish), "person" is a feminine word (the word itself has ha gender, grammatically). Maybe OP isn't a native english speaker and they're just translating literally their thought, implying "someone" as "a person".
It would have bothered me to the same degree, I don't know about you. I haven't seen anyone on Lemmy using 'he' as a 'gender neutral' pronoun yet, but I assure you I would correct it just as I regularly do in real life.
It's even more ambiguous given that it's specifically a "her" so if she was pregnant, it could complicate things depending on your view on whether or not a fetus is a life...
Under the premise of a life not being a commodity, then each time you save a specific life it counts as +1 life saved. Or if you're a bastard then who cares.

The first save gets downgraded from a "life save" to a "6 months save". You have to return the hero crown they gave you.

You saved her life. Twice.

You saved one life twice. But is there any significance to this being 'her' rather than 'they'? Did you have a specific person in mind?

If it was 'he' nobody would have questioned it, which kinds gives me pause for thought.

I try to notice it but often fail.

One. It's the same life, otherwise you could save infinite lives by care taking for a suicidal octogenarian

Unless they got pregnant in between

You usually can't get pregnant in your 80's lol

Oh i was more commenting on the OP's original question

Your banker made fun of you. That's not how life savings accounts work.

If you Murderdeathkill someone, and they come back as a zombie, can you still get in trouble?

I would ask The Fray. They seemed to know a lot about How To Save A Life.

None. You didn't save anything. You merely prolonged their suffering. Sicko.

If they caught some babies or other parasite in the meantime, you may have saved much more lives.

None. God clearly wants her dead and you're just delaying the inevitable.

Although a 'he' could also have a womb. It's interesting how OP has assigned a gender to this post, not really oddly specific but getting there.

One plus the number of lives she saved each time you save her.

Under US law you can now murder that person twice, because of the Judd Act.

FanciestPants@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 251d
This may depend on how many lives she took in between?

1 lives it's the same life but you saved that specific life twice
