Errr, no, as I’ve already said, they can’t acquire the ‘right’ to die if delivering that right has too much of an impact on other people - that impact including such things as other people feeling obliged or pressured to exercise that ‘right’ themselves when the time comes. There are many other similar examples of how one person exercising their rights has a profound effect on someone else.

If anyone told me that and I had enough energy to do so, I'd get up and jump out of the window. They could clear up the mess.
Without any thought for the psychological effect your ‘mess’ might have on the attending emergency services or even passers-by. A very neat example of how focusing on ones own rights at the expense of other people can be a profoundly selfish thing to do. Thank you.
