Right to Die
In contrast to euthanasiawhich can be done to someone and be used abusively (and has negative connotations), right to die is seen by many as an exercise in personal autonomy. Others, especially religious folks, see this as a “so-called” right that attempts to interview with God’s timing and will in how people leave this world.
