In Judaism, there are three laws that are more important than saving one's own life (that is, if threatened with death, one should die rather than transgress these three). They are: (1) Idolatry, (2) Murder, (3) Incest. (Note that the inclusion of murder makes the category not "laws that take precedence over the preservation of human life," since here the law is to preserve the life of the intended victim.)

There are no specific laws that take precedence over the preservation of human life. The general principle is that protecting human life is a fundamental value that supersedes other considerations. In exceptional circumstances, such as self-defense or justifiable use of force by law enforcement, there may be specific laws that allow for harm or loss of life, but these are limited and subject to strict criteria and legal scrutiny.
