Athena said:
What does a right to life mean?

I say:
A right to life means you have a right to live without being put to death without a trial by jury for a crime you committed. (assuming you are a right holding responsible adult)

Athena said:
When does this right start and when does it end?

I say:
It starts when you become a self sustaining being. Once you are born, you are seperated from your mother, physically. At this time, you are the holder of human rights. When you become a responsible adult (currently deemed to be 18 to die in war, 21 to have a beer) you become self-responsible for your actions, and ignorance of the law is no longer an accepted excuse for non-compliance, you are then the holder of civil rights as enumerated in the Constitution, also including many rights NOT enumerated.

Athena said:
Is anyone, in any way, responsible for the life of another?

I say:
You are responsible for any life you create, until they become self-responsible adults according to current law. You are also SOLELY responsible for your OWN life as a responsible adult.

Athena said:
Under what conditions may one person, or a group of persons, be responsible for the life another?

I say:
By creating a life through intercourse, invetro fertilization, test-tube birthing, artificial insemination, adoption, cloning(future), or voluntary contract.

Athena said:
What are rights and duties of such a human relationship?

I say:
The rights are to oversee the full education, upbringing, nourishment, instillment of concept of the law, rights and responsibilities to the child until the child reaches the age deemed to signify adulthood in law. The responsibility is financial, moral, and all encompassing since the parent or guardian is the caretaker of that child with exception to right to life and basic human rights. At that time the child is deemed and adult, the adult is property of himself in all respects and is accountable for all actions he incurs or partakes in, according to law unless it is involuntary, in which case that adult has the right to defend himself in whatever means necessary in accordance to the level of threat.
