Question of the Day: Immortality

I often get on a roll with posting to this site. A question occurred to me today after I saw a tweet related to the healthcare debate:

Is immortality a human right?

Some people on the left of the healthcare debate believe access to healthcare is a basic human right, the same as access to food and water. If we assume that the basic purpose of healthcare is to extend human life beyond its “natural” end point, and if healthcare is a human right, does that also mean immortality is a human right?

I don’t know the answer, but I thought it was an interesting question.
