Rights by definition are inalienable and not given by the Government, they are given by the fact of existence. Some Governments my infringe on those Rights but it is believed that they are your Rights regardless.
Oh and BTW, while researching this I have found that the SCOTUS recently ruled that the Declaration was not one of the Documents to be used any longer for setting legal precedent.
However Rights are still Rights and are not given by the Government. The Constitution was created to protect our Rights.
This is the reason for Amendment IX which states that rights not enumerated specifically in the Constitution are still Rights.
The Right to life is not specifically enumerated but is one of the Rights afforded to us by our existence.
