If the hypothetical person felt that their presence in the family had any other value aside from purely monetary, I would say, "no".

If this person can only think in monetary terms, then ask: how much would the other members of the family be willing to pay to have him back if he killed himself?

Cultivating the notion that a person's worth is only related to their monetary value is how porn whores are made.
