The history of our species indicates that suffering at the hands of nature and each other has been part and parcel to our continued survival; therefore, I would find it difficult to argue for a right not to suffer. That said, history also shows that our species continues to provide means to alleviate the suffering so there can be no claim that we must suffer. Insert Epicurean paradox here.
