Like, in any scenario where "property rights over things" clash against "the right to life", Libertarians will claim that the rights of the Possessor of Things should be paramount and everyone else should just die.

That didn't happen.

That is not the way Natural Law works.

Human life is the most valuable property. The right to property only exists in order to create the Order and prosperity necessary to sustain human life and even promote human flourishing.

In an ideal world, there would be no case in which the two things clash, as markets would be flawless and contracts would be perfect, but we do not live in this Utopia.

For the record, "property rights always trump right to life" is the classic pro-euthenasia and pro-abortion argument.

This is why so many people on here claim that I'm a Marxist or socialist.

In case, you were wondering.

They say that I care about people too much and things too little, but I am convinced that things only exist in order to allow us to care for the people or to allow people to care for themselves.

The things were put here for a reason.
