Empathy
Huginn: They don't have it, you know. And if they do, it's something they have to learn.
Muninn: What? Manners?
H: Empathy. They would kill less if they valued life more.
M: You underestimate the lessons of free market history. Life is so valued by them that they can't think of anything else better to take, control and destroy.
H: Do you think he cares?
M: If he doesn't, we'll have to do it for him.

This seems to be quite reminiscent of Mario Puzo's The Godfather. I suppose in that way people value life so highly that entire systems(like the legal systems) are based upon people's high valuation of life.
I think it boils down to a fear of the unknown? Many know not what lies beyond this temporal plane and are thus unwilling to shuffle off this mortal coil easily...
