Seeing the word "inherent" and "right" being used 14 different ways in the same paragraph is making me insane. Either we come to a consensus on what these words mean or close the thread. The idea of personhood and inherent value of life are massively complicated things that cannot be answered adequately with a single post. For example, inherent can mean "derived from some formal entity in the unknowable aether" and it can also mean "a property derived from the logical conclusion of a premise". Is a right inherent because God said it was or is a right inherent because we are social animals that have benefitted from altruism and evolved to have a vested interest in the survival of the species as a whole (in general).

Pohl posted:He is a sociopath and while the rest of us could hash out what a "right" really is, and what it means to a society and an individual; I doubt he could ever really understand what we were talking about. If you have to derail a thread about gentrification and then start a thread asking if people really deserve to live, you are probably a loving sociopath. Oh I guess there is some context to this.
