Apparently it is negotiable, as yours truly demonstrates.
I don't owe Charles Manson any respect. Respect isn't something one is unconditionally entitled to - not even an ounce of it. It's something you can gain or lose completely.

There is such a thing as a respectful disagreement.

Yes, there is.

Choking to death is acceptable because it causes only extreme discomfort, not pain?

1. It's an improvement.
2. The discomfort isn't really extreme. I'll wager that laying in a bed full of cockroaches is more uncomfortable that passing out from lack of oxygen.
