You can't stop someone from stealing something. But it does make sense to say that people don't have the right to steal stuff.
So the concept of rights clearly does still apply.
Also, the concept of a right is very related to law. If you have the right to die, than it can't be criminal for someone to help you die.
- Bender 1y agoIf you steal the court can put you in jail or fine you. If you self terminate what would the court punish you with? I am assuming the person has already liquidated their assets and given it to whomever they choose. I do not believe the law has any bearing as it has no control. I believe the most they could do is yell at the moon.
