No one should be able to take this away from us. There are no legal barriers here, but rather moral barriers. We need some rights, outside of legal rights, that are universal and actually state that all humans must have autonomy, they must be treated equally with all others, and they should not be discriminated against. This is why we have human rights. It provides humans with these aforementioned rights along with many others.
Human rights allow people to have assertive exercise and individual empowerment.
These rights are deserved, but more importantly, needed. Human rights need to become universalizable. Every individual in the world deserves these rights. An individual must be protected. This link contains an actual copy of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
