What does it mean for one to have a life? Is it based on their achivement or contribution to society? Or is it someone who makes more money in their life?

Just say it's the case, that someone who achives more or contributes more to society, are their life more valuable than someone who doesn't? Are they also more deserving to be offered better medical care(e.g. organs recipient) than someone "without a life".

If you're breathing, you have a life.

99% of people just have ordinary, everyday lives. You don't have to do anything extraordinary to 'have a life' or even 'enjoy life'.

You're not a failure if you never made it to millionaire or you're not famous.

How much is your life worth? You can't put a money amount on it as if you traded your life for money, then you wouldn't be around to enjoy the money, would you? The only trade people will sometimes make though is their life to save another's life.

PS Yes, doctors often have to make decisions on a practical basis, as to who will get organs etc. But that is other people evaluating a life, it isn't about what do you think your life is worth. You might value being alive even if you're old and sick.
