I believe in "to each according to need," (or to put it into the language of a "right," the right to fulfillment of your needs.) but I don't trust "countries" to do that. There's a long history of governments saying they're doing that while perpetuating the worst atrocities.

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?

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