The so-called "right to life" is merely a reciprocal agreement in which we agree to let others live if they do the same

It's basically the "do unto others" argument and that seems to be the easiest for me to agree to.

I don't see this as a thread about abortion, but rather life and death as well... In #2, that would give me the right to die wiht dignity, because it would be made clear to others that I wouldn't want to be kept alive on machines.
