    As one SF writer once said. It's easy to claim Right to Individual bathroom if there is one or more bathroom per person. Problem is what happens where these twenty or more person per bathroom.

    Argument from authority?

  I'm not a huge fan of asking someone to prove a negative, but I do feel as if in this case it is justified: Can you refute the claim? Is there evidence that people do not generally need a basic level of respect, care, and dignity? Are there people that you find to be not deserving of those basic levels?

    Depends on your definition of "need" and what exactly do you mean by this word. If you mean that people without those things generally feel unhappy and sometimes die - well yes, it's just a matter of fact. But if you mean that we need to forcibly remove other people's property in order to fulfill those needs - well, here is where you lose me completely. How do you figure that I, for example, "deserve" food and shelter to a bigger extent than you "deserve" what you own?
