Rights to Life or Life for Rights

Rights to Life or Life for Rights
Perhaps we have a non-sequitur in the common idea of life as a right.
The basic values that are the basis for any rights, are definitions of life itself. Without conscious life there would be nothing to contain or be defined by values. We have rights within life. The real question is, on what basis life may be conceived, allowed to die, sacrifice itself, or be destroyed. That is according to whether we are altruists, or autonomous individuals, or parts of a society conceived as an organism - as in the king being the head and everyone else the arms, legs and body.
Basic values are indivisible, such as freedom which has no components, or is a description of a quality of life. Whereas life is not indivisible, and is the thing that contains the values. A universe without conscious life is truly dead.
There is no moral question other than within society, and so within life. Even Robinson Crusoe had a minimal society, in the natural environment on which he depended. And on the animals and plants that he tended. Even perhaps in his mind, from his previous life and hope to return to it. Rights and duties are reciprocal, but not necessarily equal.

Rights are a lie. Most of people can't even say what do they understand by Right, in general or a particular field.

Might makes right. Not fair, but the world is a shit hole, and not fair.
