human life
Birth to death
Human life is the existence of a person from birth to death, or sometimes from conception.
The phrase often carries moral weight, implying intrinsic value or dignity: Human life is sacred, the sanctity of human life.
In legal and ethical debates, it marks the boundary of what deserves protection: When does human life begin?
The plural human lives emphasizes individuals: The earthquake cost thousands of human lives.
