There is no legal right not to be killed

In some countries there is, but the US is not among those

Correct. The simple fact that every culture has its own list of what
are and are not rights is a pretty devastating argument against the
concept of natural rights.

I never said rights are natural rights. Of course rights can only be
assigned by humans (or other sentient beings, if they exist). But
humans can give rights to non-sentinent beings such as animals. Or
even rocks - the humans decide.
