    Law 215:

    Specialists receive pay for protecting living of people by serving on them.

    Law 218:

    If the surgeon has become a cause for his patient's death, his hands shall be cut off.

    Explanation:

    Approximately 4,000 years before, one man called Hammurabi became the leader of a little city-state named Babylon. Now Babylon survives just like an archaeological locality in inside Iraq. Lately, in Hammurabi's time, it was the capital of that state of Babylonia.

    The correct answer to this open question is the following.

    King Hammurabi might argue that laws 215 and 218 were just because they tried to save a person's life.

    Both laws refer to surgeons. If they saved a person's life, they had to receive 10 shekels of silver. But if the person died, their hands should be cut off. A little drastic, but that was Hammurabis's ideas.

    Hammurabi was the King of Babylon for 42 years, according to some tablets written in cuneiform scripts found by archeologists in the site. In the year 38th of his rule, Hammurabi set a code of laws known as the Hammurabi code that was carved in a big stele. It was a code with 282 laws. Many of the laws protected the weak from the strong.
