(18,839 posts)Do people have a right to life?
I believe that people as sentient beings have rights. They are inherent, not granted and may only be immorally deprived.
e.g. Do we have a right to drink alcohol until we fall over and die? I think people have the right to choose to end their life however they wish as long as it does not also harm anyone else
e.g. Do we have a right to promiscuity? As long as you can find willing partners
e.g. Do we have a right to use communally owned ressources for personal, gain If solely for the benefit of the individual then the community must approve
e.g. Do artificial intelligences, who clearly have a personality and can think and talk, deserve to be treated as people? No, though machines may mimic personality, it is simply following its programming. At this point we have not created sentient, self-aware computers
e.g. Do we humans have a right to a basic income when the employers replace us with robots? Yes, people have the right to the basic needs to live
