Understanding Deeper Wrongs

The notion that an action is wrong solely based on infringing on legal rights is criticized. Simone Vay suggests that the wrongdoing is far more profound, involving the violation of an individual's essential humanity. She illustrates this with examples of prostitution and denying a starving person food. While legal rights are significant, Vay emphasizes the importance of focusing on human needs over rights, highlighting the limitations of a legalistic and commercial perspective on rights.
