What do you think are the fundamental human rights?

[Shalmanese]

What, if any, rights does a human have from birth (or conception) that cannot be morally taken away from them?

the right to life? (for the anti-abortionists)
the right to not die deliberatly under the hands of others (for the anti-euthanasianists and anti-death penalty)
the right to free access of food?
the right to shelter?
the right to free practise of religion?
the right internet access?

what rights does a person have intrinsically?

and please, dont turn this into a flame war.

United Nations Declaration of Human Rights

Some of these we take for granted, such as the right to be considered a person (and not property, for example). Opinions on the UN view of human rights?
