What is a Person Entitled to in this life? What Rights do we have?

I have often thought about this question. As I think about I think there is really only two things that a person is entitled too.
1. Death
2. Free Choice
You always have both of these no matter where you are. The consequences for choice may be severe but you still have choice.
Beyond entitlements are rights. Rights are things that can be taken away that a government, or society, exists to protect. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are among the greatest rights that need protection. protection of property both intellectual and physical is the other I would add in.
What do you see as entitlements and rights? What others should be there, or am I even a bit to aggressive?
