So the right to life is only a yes/no thing.


If you are alive, that's all that matters. The quality of your life is of no concern?


I guess that's the literal interpretation.


I tend to disagree.


I think that living a shortened miserable life with a disease that is treatable is situation of a right denied.


I think most people agree. I think as you get older, your need for modern medicine increases. And living through a shortened golden years in pain and suffering the ailments of an aging body when treatments and medications are available is having a right to a positive life denied.
