A quick definition of right to refuse treatment:

Right to Refuse Treatment: The right to refuse treatment means that a person has the choice to say no to medical care or life-sustaining treatment, even if it may result in their death. This is also known as the right to die. It is a legal right that allows individuals to make decisions about their own healthcare and treatment options. This right is often outlined in advance directives, which are legal documents that specify a person's wishes for medical treatment in the event that they are unable to communicate their wishes themselves.

A more thorough explanation:

The right to refuse treatment is the right of a person to say no to medical treatment or procedures that they do not want. This includes life-sustaining treatment, which is treatment that keeps a person alive when they cannot do so on their own.

For example, if a person is terminally ill and does not want to be kept alive by machines, they have the right to refuse life-sustaining treatment. This is also known as the right to die. Another example is if a person does not want to undergo a surgery or take medication that they believe will not help them or will make their condition worse.

These examples illustrate how the right to refuse treatment gives individuals control over their own medical care and allows them to make decisions about their own bodies. It is important for individuals to understand their rights and communicate their wishes to their healthcare providers.
