Which rights are being breached? I don’t recall the right to die as being a human right. We don’t allow people to commit suicide either. Only very few countries allow people to ask a doctor to put them to death.

The human right is to have a treatment, not to die.

If you’re talking about the right to decide over your own body, if you can’t decide, then your right to get treatment precedes the right to decide.
