Does a stone have rights?

Answer 1

You are assuming that human beings have rights. I have a right only if the person in authority gives it or recognises it. That is not a right. Is there a right in the absolute sense?
They say Might is Right.

Answer 2

Stones can have various rights. The kinds of rights and value of the rights depend on the stone's social and physical environment and the uniqueness of its composition. For example, there is a white hairy stone that has been granted more artistic rights than any other stone before it to keep its white hair. An ANANOVA article reports, "A stone growing long white hair was given a price of 10 million yuan (£650,000) at an art exhibition." Now, shaving the stone's white hair off would be WRONG in the view of anyone who obtains amusement from looking at the stone in its hairy state.

Answer 3

If a stone have rights what rights is that? is it the right to be where it is or what it is.. if thats so then everyday stones are carried away by rivers and rain waters, and humans. Precious stones are sold everyday and where is the rights.
So my answer is no stone have no rights. So is the air and water. Only living things have rights and has the rights to choose to which stone to throw or a air to breathe or a water to drink.. They have the rights to protect these elements but the elements themselve doesn't have rights.

Answer 4

It depends on the value you place on the stone. Although it's a sentient object, stones such as diamonds are being sought after and killed for. Polished granite being installed in our kitchens and bathrooms.
Regardless, we mine these stones by the tons and with no regard on how and when they became what they are. If any case we should have some type of respect for a stone just because of chance and time. Not every piece of carbon turns into a diamond, it's a process that involves chance and time.

Answer 5

Strictly speaking, you do not seem to have a right yourself to ask this question, as it is limitative and based upon one-sided presuppositions about the being of a stone. You see stones cannot be typified into group like human beings when it comes to decide upon if they have any rights, or if they have any responsibility to go along. To be a stone is to be of any of the countless shapes, sizes and forms, and then most importantly to be pretty senseless in existence. It can be argued that all the grains of sand are in fact tiny stones in their own right. And you, who is already being quite presumptuous in your inquiry, can you tell me what type of stone, for instance, you would like me to consider for your answer?

Yes, a stone, as all stones, has its right: the right to be. And this is one thing that you cannot take away from a stone.

Answer 6

Before you can this that question, you must first answer this one: what does a stone have a right to? Before you start assigning rights, decide of it has a right to rights.

Answer 7

Every stone has a meaning. His meaning as proof of past eons.
The purpose remains in necessity.
We "need" the stones in some way.

Answer 8

I have noticed more stones speaking up for their "right to life".
I believe they do have that right. Plus they do work, though they are tax exempt. I see many stones working as house siding and walkways etc.

Answer 9

There are no intrinsic rights. All rights are gifts.

As such, I can think of stones which have had more rights than people. There are idols who had thousands sacrificed to them. There are gemstones protected so fiercely that it would probably be worth your life just to look upon them. There are archaeological relics that are found and preserved at a cost that would feed millions.

None of this would be so unless we wished it.

Answer 10

of course, it has a right to live as a stone
