Document Summary
Rights: three key features: rights can be given up; inalienable rights would be those one cant give up. It is only when someone performs an action by which you due that the right is infringed. In other words, there"s no right to die, to be spared death. " a right not to be killed unless you"ve been found guilty of a serious crime in a just legal system. So it might be that we usually simply call the right to property actually has a big exception built in: the right to property is actually the right that your-box-not-be-brokeninto-and-your- drug-taken-without-your-consent-when-there-is-no-child-who-needs-that-drug-for-life. Illness is a gap occasion - the right to property has an exception or gap for instances where in instances an innocent life can be saved. Problems with the gappy rights explanation: consent. Although we act wrongly if we go ahead, we are not to be blamed for doing so - what you did was excusable.
