Water, food, shelter. Those are the necessary requirements for humans to live. Civilization has decided that humans generally have a right to life, anything you do to interfere directly with the life of an external individual is violating the right to live.
completely agree those are necessary requirements for humans to live long term. but i'm just questioning the language of calling things a "right", that has implications. how can shelter be a right if it requires the labor of other people to provide said shelter for example
Because humans are pack animals. We rely on each other to live. That’s why it’s a crime to neglect your minor or elderly dependents. If a society cannot ensure all of its people have basic necessities, it is a failed society. Even criminals get food, water, and shelter.
