Ethics 

@Azure The point, I suspect, is that they're trying to advocate for a position that rights are inherent to the person, rather than as a consequence of anything else. They're seeking an argument for inalienability from one's own rights that doesn't depend on either a creator or a relationship to an external force. Most ethicists start with the idea that rights "come from" somewhere, not that they're simply present as part of the innate state of embodied self-awareness.
