I know some places are more progressive in this regard. But from the U.S., I'd like to see every person entitled to:

  • shelter
  • food
  • healthcare
  • education and higher education

(As an aside, not sure "right" is the best term here, I think of these more as commitments that society would make because we have abundance. One advantage of the word "right" is that a person is justified in expecting it - it's not welfare/ a benefit / a privilege)

The right to take risks with my own body and health.

New? How about old. Aside from the recent rights lost in the US wrt bodily autonomy/privacy (see Dobbs, etc.), what about the "Second Bill of Rights" as put forth by FDR?

I was thinking AI/Robot rights but after seeing your list that seems silly to preemptively give AI rights just in case when we could make access to food and shelter a right...

Some countries have euthanasia, I want affordable suicide booths.

Having one of those days where you wish to unlive yourself? Well, wish no more!

Nah, that shit needs a timer and a therapist visit at least.

Sometimes people just forget to take their meds for a while.

That's how it is here in NL. We have the right to die, but you need to have several consultations first, and these usually include your family and/or friends at a certain point.

I do not think it's too invasive or cumbersome if I believe a recent article (in De Telegraaf so maybe not the most accurate?) that said the process usually takes between six months and a year.
