The RTL as a (-) right means the right to not be killed.
The RTL as a (+) right would be the right to anything which would keep you alive, save you, and/or extend your life.
Organ donation analogies to pregnancy frame the RTL as a positive right and attack that premise.

That's why they can never be fundamentally sound analogies, because they attack a version of a right which is not being argued for by the ideological opposition.
