I am refering to any lifeform that is identified as a member of the species Homo Sapiens Sapiens.

Yes. Why: because they are all my brothers and sisters in Christ, and have that spark of God in them. Yes, even terrorists in Iraq.

Yes. No more and no less. If you adhere to give and take, do unto others (etc) credo, then the answer is yes.
But, now you open the door to euthanasia and fetal rights. Without clearly defining the onset of humanity, or the end of dignified life, however, I cannot give you any more than the "yes".

Ideally, yes, but until we craft a world that places human life above market forces, and encourages an informed, responsible human populus how to balance their needs with our resources, that's going to be a back-burner issue for the forseeable future.

I believe that this life on earth is more than what any human being deserves because we are sinners. So therefore be grateful because God loves you are even though none is without sin he has made a life that isn't all that bad for us to live.

All humans have inherent value (not necessarily the same) and the right to life. However, through their actions, many reduce their value and forfeit their rights.

I do. Because the Scriptures tell us ALL people are 'made in the image of God.' This bequeaths that inherent value of which you speak.
This belief is lacking in all Far Eastern Religions and in Islam.

Of course, all humans are, when one gets down to the basics, human. One human is no better than the next human, and likewise deserves the same rights as his fellow man.

Yes. Of course they do. Why? Because we all have life and God loves each of us the same. We all have equal value in God's eyes.

most definately! We are all here to learn and experience life to it's full potential. And everyone has a right to that. We are all souls who have life lessons to learn, and until we learn these lessons and begin to have some love and tolerance, we will continue to repeat the cycle until we do learn.
just my humble pagan thoughts...
i hope you find what it is you seek.

All humans have a value but one who kills another has no right to life.

Everyone is born with a right to life. Some people however choose to forfeit that right.
