What if someone had been a prostitute for a few months but than stopped and hadn't engaged in the activity for a number of years. In your mind, would stabbing her be less acceptable than stabbing an active prostitute, but still more acceptable than stabbing a woman who had never been a prostitute?
Or what about a non-prostitute librarian who occasionally pockets the late fees that people pay? Does she still rank above the prostitute? What if she spends that money she steals from the library on pot? Or what if she donates it to charity?
Man this gets complicated.
It almost seems like.....it might not be so easy to simply put labels on people's worth.
