The Right To...

Do we have the right do anything that does not directly and negatively affect the well-being of another person?

Rights or an inherent rights more importantly are something that you have and can/should not be taken away from you. But do we have the right do anything that does not directly and negatively affect the well-being of another person? That is the question stipulated here today.

Right to live, and does life directly affect the well being of someone else? In cases where someones mental wellbeing is affected by the knowledge that another person exists, what do you do? Do you make one of the people "not exist" or do yo kill the one(s) who's mental wellbeing is affected? What about situations in where a criminal is about to take some one's life? You take the life of the criminal, not the victim, right? Now what about in the case of a bad pregnancy? Where the baby is going to kill the mother. Do you terminate the baby and save the mother or will the mother die in child birth? Do you kill the victim? So, are there cases in where it's our right to take someone's life?

If we have the right to poses knowledge, and that knowledge does not directly affect someone, then is it right? In the case of leaked photos from iColud, would it have been right to steal them so long as it wasn't leaked? It couldn't affect their wellbeing, because they don't even know that they were copied! Or in the situation where the NSA is using many various ways to collect large sums of data (knowledge) on us, this does not directly affect us in a negative manner, and could even be a positive change. It could help us catch terrorists, right? But it currently invades our privacy, and that affects us right? But it only affects us if we know that it exists.

If I do things to my own body, whether they be surgical, or drugs, or cutting myself, it doesn't affect others, it would only effect me. So should I have the right to cut myself until i bleed out and die? Should I have the right to use any drug I choose, so long as I don' harm anyone while I'm using? Do I have the right to surgically alter my body in any way I choose, do I then have a right to a sex change, or any piercings, or any plethora of odd-ball "enhancements? (Split toung, eye tattoos, nose removal, etc.)

Could we actually have the right to do anything so long as it does not affect others, or does this rule have too many exceptions to actually constitute a rule?  The "right to do anything (insert condition here)" is far too broad and vast a possibility to consider an inherent right.
