Shouldn't the right to die be a human right?
RE: Shouldn't the right to die be a human right?
bennyboy Wrote:They, who? The taxpayers? The people working at the clinic? The banks? Why should you not wanting to live any more pose a financial burden on others? You are not making a decision for yourself, but also a unilateral (and deleterious) decision on the behalf of many others-- about how they might live their life, and about the degree to which they may or may not prosper. What about their rights?

So, in short, your argument is that the death of a person can affect others and so people shouldn't be given the right to die. The same thing you say about death can also be said about life. When a baby is born it affects not only the life of its mother but also that of many others, so does this mean a mother will have to get permission from everyone who might have their life affected with the baby to give birth?
