I’ve read through this whole thread and I still don’t understand what “natural rights” are supposed to be and, assuming they exist, who/what defines them.

Are they a group of empirical facts? Are they an agreed upon concept based on one or more philosophies? Are they God-given rights? Trying to fit them into any of those three categories just raises more questions and makes my head hurt.

I’m totally lost. *sigh*
