Could make an argument that it's the soul that's the most essential component of life.
Otherwise we're just a particular arrangement of matter that happens to move, be sensitive, consume nutrients and produce waste, and reproduce. You don't have to believe in a 'soul' in a religious sense, but all life clearly has an animating spirit (for want of better word) of some form.
Blood is important and we can't live without it but it's what enables us to keep living, not have life. I think there's a difference?

@littlemissdani It is important to recognize that we all have a soul and nourishing the spiritual side of us, is just as important as making sure we eat the right things, so we can live. In fact, our spirit is the most important part of ourselves, as it never dies. Our body does, but our spirit lives on forever. Jesus made sure he didn't leave us to guess about that. He made sure that he covered spiritual matters, in His Word. In fact, that is why he came to Earth, to tell us about how to get to heaven and why we need him and salvation. This is something we never want to leave to chance, that is, where we shall spend eternity. Jesus said the choices we make today, determine where we shall spend eternity.

@LadyGrace That's a very beautiful way of putting it <3
There's a long explanation of this, of which I shall give you in two or three sentences. Haha
I could write a book on this but I will say this, off the top of my head:
NONE of the following....possible, without the sacrificial blood of atonement for our sins, in Christ.
Spiritually speaking, there is miracle-working power in the Blood. That is, the blood of Jesus. There is:
Power
Redemption
Life
Death
Forgiveness
Grace
Faith
Cleansing
Salvation
Transformation
Strength
Peace
Eternity
Heaven
Joy
and Love....
ALL...made possible, by the shedding of Jesus' pure, innocent, sinless blood.
Without the shedding of blood, there is no remission of sins. Hebrews 9:22
Blood is the most important thing in eternity. It saves Souls and Jesus wanted us to know that there is life and death in the blood, to show us that by his death and shedding of his precious blood, he was giving his All To Us. His very best! There is nothing more precious than life and nothing says I love you, more than one giving their life for another. That's why blood is important. Jesus was saying to us, I not only said I love you, I have proved it! There was nothing more he could give! And he gave it all for us. He wanted to make sure none of us would miss heaven, though he knew some of us would reject his free gift of salvation. Yet he volunteered to die anyway, hoping those who do not believe, may someday believe. He is not willing that any should perish. He turns no one away.

@LadyGrace Fish do bleed. I've caught and gutted a few fish before i tried to become a vegetarian. I felt guilty pulling them out of the water and then killing them. They look so cool and effortless swimming in the water.
All animals(including people) suffer and then die it just takes us 80-100 years to do it. I think maybe it's punishment for killing us kill Jesus.
