Your right to life is not separated from your right to defend that life.

I believe they are two separate rights. Call them inalianable rights if you like.

I believe that you have the right to life, but that when your life is put in danger, you have to choose if your life is more important than the person who is putting your life in danger. In effect, you must decide if your right to defend your life is more important than the other persons right to live - if it comes to a mortal struggle.

For example, acts of heroism occur every day. That is one person putting someone else's right to life above their own. Often this involves the hero not being in a position to defend their own life because they have put the needs/rights of another person above their own.
