Even more human wrongings

Clearly spending too much time browsing the BBC News site, I came across this article.

Now, upon conducting a little research, I find that the European Convention on Human Rights gives us, as Europeans, the following rights:

  • right to life
  • prohibition of torture
  • prohibition of slavery
  • right to liberty and security
  • right to a fair trial
  • no punishment without law
  • right to respect for private life
  • right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion
  • right to freedom of expression
  • right to freedom of assembly and association
  • right to marry
  • right to an effective remedy
  • prohibition of discrimination

So where does it become their human right to conceive a child? Being put in prison involves the loss of priviledges, having an as-yet-unconceived child should be one of them.

Imagine explaining it to the poor child as it grew up...

Goodnight all
