What is the difference between the right to life and the right to health?

The right to life is a personality right, its content is to safeguard the life and safety interests of natural persons, and the right to health refers to the personality right of natural persons, and its content is to maintain human life by making the physiological functions of the body work normally and fully, maintaining the integrity of its external organization and the perfection of its internal physiological functions.

The difference between the right to life and the right to health is as follows:

(1) The basic content of the right to life is to maintain the continuity of people's life activities, so as to prevent people's life from being terminated due to human infringement, while the basic content of the right to health is to maintain the normal life activities and the perfect state of human functions, without taking people's life and life value as the object.

(2) The inevitable consequence of the violation of the right to life is that the victim's life is terminated, human life activities are no longer continued, and the interests of life safety are fundamentally damaged. Violation of the right to health is quite different. The right to health is violated and the perfection of human physiological function is destroyed. But after treatment, you can recover completely or partially. Even if you can't recover, there is no danger of losing your life. This is the most obvious difference between the right to life and the right to health, that is, the legal consequences are different after the rights are violated.

(3) The damages after the rights are infringed are also different. The difference in this respect is mainly reflected in whether to compensate for work ability. After the right to life is violated, the obligee loses his life and naturally has no ability to work to compensate. The right to health, as a necessary material means for the victim's survival, no longer exists, so the future life of the victim will inevitably be extremely difficult. The offender must be responsible for the economic losses caused by the victim's damage or loss of working ability, and should bear the necessary living expenses of the victim in the future.
