The right to life.

Abstract

Objective: Aim: The article is devoted to the study of the right to life as a key aspect of legal theory. The purpose of the study is to examine the theoretical aspects of the right to life, to analyze its essence, place and significance in the system of general human rights; to outline the main principles and concepts related to the right to life, to consider their evolution in different legal systems and to discuss important ethical aspects related to this topic.

Patients and methods: Materials and Methods: The article examines the right to life, defines its place in the modern world, highlights the issues of correlation between this right and the right to abortion and euthanasia, and assesses the prospects for their realization. The empirical basis of the study is grounded on articles by scholars and assessments by leading experts in the field. The authors used general scientific methods, including system analysis, system modeling, and the dialectical method. To demonstrate the relationship between the right to life of an unborn child and a woman's right to abortion, a social survey was conducted among different population groups.

Conclusion: Conclusions: Analyzing the right to life in the context of its interrelationship with other human rights, such as the right to liberty, the right to health and the right to a fair trial, helps to affirm the principles of the rule of law and ensure equality before the law for all. In the modern world, the concept of the right to life has become an important element of international law, which covers not only physical existence, but also the provision of a decent and quality life, health, education and social protection. Cultural and religious aspects play a significant role in shaping the understanding of the right to life. Different religious and cultural traditions have their own interpretations of the beginning and end of life, influencing attitudes to aspects related to medical interventions, abortion, euthanasia and other issues.
