The rigth to have rights --- I want to make emphasis on the main arguments against Neuroright to Equal Access to Mental Augmentation. In the first place, they say this right could damage the right to not acces to this technologies, showing a concerning misundertanding of how human rights work. The right to acces to something does not affect to the people tan don't want to acces it. Decriminalization of abortion laws don't force people to abort. In second place, they say this right would be obsolete in developing countries where state cannot even gaurantee basics rights. That means if you don't have acces to basic raght then you don have right to another rights. It is true that formulating this neurorights wont guarantee acces to this techologies, but same is true for every right, nevertheles, it is improtant to state that this right exist, at least in paper, so people can aspire to achieve it, and states start to work in guarantee it
