What are divine rights? Is it where every man has the right to govern their lives? If not, then what is?
Answered by Ms. Sue
Divine rights are those that people believe are given by God. The divine right of kings, for instance, gave kings the right to do almost anything they wanted.

Is there a right where people have the freedom to choose what to do with their lives?
Answered by Ms. Sue
Yes, with certain limitations. I doubt if many God-given rights believers would believe it gives people the right to kill.

What about Euthanasia? Is there a right about that?
Answered by Ms. Sue
Some people believe this.

God-given rights are whatever an individual or society believes they are.

I think you need to start distinguish between "rights" and "legal".

Many things right, are illegal, and many legal things are not right...many learn this in war, and in working with the poor, disabled, and with children.
