What makes human life valuable?

Don't act as if this question is a weird thing to contemplate either. Throughout most of human history, and in MANY societies today, it doesn't take all that much to get killed. Things that are normal and celebrated in one place, get you killed in another. So, what basis do we say human life has value?

Simply waking up with a roof over my head, a job I enjoy, my interests, music, kind people. Food, drink, all these things and more are valuable to me because they're everyday things I can hang on to.
I don't think or worry about about being killed because I could crash and burn in my car tomorrow. I'd rather try to think positive.
