You have no natural (inherent) "right not to have your life forcefully taken away from you by someone else" (regardless of the LEGAL right). In nature, animals murder animals, and the only inherent law (and I use the term figuratively and loosely) is "survival of the fit." It may be a bit more moral to respect others' right to live, and certainly more legal, but morality and law are not natural or inherent. <hr size="1" /></blockquote><span class='postcolor'>
And right there you admit their right to live - but not their guarantee. They have a right to not have their life infringed upon, but sometimes they have to take it upon themselves to defend that right. Which, technically, is a slightly different definition of rights than my last post, too, so thanks for making me think. |
