If you interpreted this as the right to life, would your listeners think you meant an anti-abortion movement?
If the context doesn´t make it super clear, one option is to render it as the right to not be killed - not exact, but avoids cultural confusion since the phrase right-to-life has been coopted in the US and Canada at least.
Maybe - but the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights talks about the 'right to life, liberty and security of person'.
