If you save someone's life and then you save her life again next year, how many lives did you save?

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

  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.

    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.

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

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

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

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