Shouldn't the right to die be a human right?

Yep. Think about the shift of power. If the government treats us like shit we'll just kill ourselves. This will force them to treat us better. Just think about the shift of power overnight. Governments of the world will be evaluated on its ability to keep its citizens alive and happy and if they can't keep us content they'll simply vanish into irrelevance and slowly into oblivion.

That's quite a rosy view. What would really happen is that the government and media would foster a healthy outrage and panic among the populace. I would imagine it would be big enough in America to get a Constitutional Amendment on the books.

I can't imagine it going much differently in Britain.

It would depend almost entirely on how we frame it. Obviously, it can't be done so bluntly. First step would be to include the right to die as a human right, this demand can be easily reasoned. Then legalize assisted suicide(because the right to die is a human right) and within a few years we have assisted suicide clinics and finally have power over our government.
