humans should have the right to die when they want
The right to life includes the right to die
The right to life is not a right simply to exist
The right to life is a right to life with a minimum quality and value
Death is the opposite of life, but the process of dying is part of life
Dying is one of the most important events in human life
Dying can be good or bad
People have the right to try and make the events in their lives as good as possible
So they have the right to try to make their dying as good as possible
If the dying process is unpleasant, people should have the right to shorten it, and thus reduce the unpleasantness
People also have obligations - to their friends and family, to their doctors and nurses, to society in general
These obligations limit their rights
These obligations do not outweigh a person's right to refuse medical treatment that they do not want
But they do prevent a patient having any right to be killed
