Besides, "fundamental freedom" and "human right" are semantic social constructs — what counts or not is quite malleable from polity to polity. Actual rights are natural rights, as in things that no one can realistically stop you from doing (suicide is perhaps the best example as the extreme of bodily autonomy; free speech somewhat falls into this category but it gets political as soon as there are publishing media involved beyond literal vocal speech)
