Rights are a social construct. Why couldn't we simply construct those examples as new rights?



Rights are best when fundamental and few. Even then it takes a lot of thought to balance between them.

If you start creating a long list of rights then the complexity of balancing all the areas of contradiction will be so many that inevitably an elite will simply use the plethora of rights/contradictions to rationalize getting their way.

In most important things, we need to keep boiling down the principles to as few as possible to explain/perform as needed.
