I think it's important to note that these rights are there regardless of who you are or what you have done. And that differs from "natural" human tendencies to strip wrongdoers of their rights. We have collectively agreed that a wrongdoer can have some rights revoked (prison) and yet continue to preserve more fundamental rights. Yet many people today still feel that someone that commits a terrible crime should be stripped of all their rights, including in some cases their most fundamental right to be alive.
