Principles of the right to life and health

The principle of the right to life and health is that the right to life is the most important legal interest. On the one hand, the lives of all living natural persons are protected by criminal law, even if their quality of life is low; On the other hand, compared with other rights, the legal interest of life is higher than all other legal interests. In the process of criminal legislation and justice, priority should be given to protecting the right to life. Taking life first as the first principle of criminal law to protect the right to life is mainly based on the following considerations: First, civil life is the source of all social components. As Marx said, members of civil society are the premise and foundation of a political country. Therefore, from the perspective of the survival of the country and society, the life of citizens is undoubtedly the most precious resource of the country and society. We can't imagine a country or society without individual life. "The state is just an institution that exists for the people, and it exists to enhance the welfare of the people. In other words, the purpose of the government is to protect the rights and interests of citizens ... Since the state exists for the people, then the state should first protect the lives of the people. " In this sense, the right to life should be at the top of legal interests.
