Your right of life is not just to live it, but to dispose of it according to your will. That, by definition is what the right to own and control one's own life is.

Your right to life is not just to live? Says who? The right to life is the right to be alive.

It's the right to liberty that enables you control your own life. And that right cannot supersede the right to life.

Your right to life is not just to live?

That's right. It's the right to decide whether or not I stay alive.

Says who?

Says me. It's my life, and no one else's. I'll live it as long as I like, and not a moment longer. If the day comes that I am terminally ill and face a hopeless, painful and lingering death, I'll take my own life whenever I damned well please and with all due respect, I really don't care what you, the State or anyone else has to say about it. Interfere with such a man at your own peril, because he hasn't a thing to lose except his own suffering.
