This shows that life is the most important value to be desired and everything at ones disposal can be done to persevere and defend life. The primary reason for the establishment of government is to protect life. The 1948 United Nations Organization (UNO) declaration provides on the defense of human life. It relates to how to make life more meaningful, enjoyable and productive. In the light of this, individuals have an in-built, God-given mechanism called life preservation instincts for self-preservation. This instinct include:
