Okay, so you might hold an absolutist position on the acceptable number of deaths, that the acceptable number of deaths is exactly 0. Assuming that is the case

Okay, so you might hold an absolutist position on the acceptable number of deaths, that the acceptable number of deaths is exactly 0.
Assuming that is the case, do you really believe that people don't have the moral right to entertain any amount of deaths for "economic activity"?
If so, this is the least enforceable violation of your version of "human rights", possibly in the history of humanity.
- pmiller2 6y agoSince when does enforceability have any impact on whether something is a human right or not? One aspect of "human rights" is that they are universal. They apply to both me, you, and everyone else on the planet equally. And, it is entirely reasonable to believe that nobody has the right to end my life but me. So, yes, I believe 0 is the correct number of lives to be sacrificed for economic activity, even though we don't come close to that practically.
