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

I disagree completely. We don't get to decide who is or isn't responsible and who does of doesn't deserve their rights.

Furthermore Bodily integrity is a human right.

Quote:“There is a concept called body autonomy. It's generally considered a human right. Bodily autonomy means a person has control over whom or what uses their body, for what, and for how long. It's why you can't be forced to donate blood, tissue, or organs."


You can derive the right to die from just that. The only reason we don't actually have suicide clinics is because we're slaves of the government. Think about it this way, many years back when a hunter came back injured the whole tribe would be catering to him - was it because of their love towards him or his ability to hunt? The same way, no matter how useless, someone somewhere is always making the government money. So their life is important to them - not them - their life - is important to them.

Which is bullshit. We're not slaves to anybody.
