> According to our laws humans have some rights by just being a human.
Being human means you can plan things out and recall the passage of time by sharing stories. Language and higher thought make us peculiar in that regard; they give us a past and a future, which is why you're destroying something if you end a human being's life early.
For a similar reason, we have rules against causing suffering that apply to animals that can suffer.
