I believe in human rights, but not on faith.Humanity has been proven to function better when medical and education is covered, so they can focus more on other matters. Humans tend to be more effective in a job/field of their choosing/skill set rather than being forced to pick cotton. More advanced nations tend to allow free of speech, which allows for more ideas to be spread meaning more advancement over all.In other words, proof and evidence based.

Because I don't doubt human rights, I must resort to a thought experiment.

Suppose you and I are in a plane crash on a desert island. I am paralyzed, a quadriplegic and to prevent you claiming the need for human company, unable to speak, while you are unscathed. Why should you try to keep me alive?

Also, the first society to acknowledge human rights did so with no evidence. Were they irrational?
