When we say we have the right to something, what exactly are we meaning? What is a right?
Apparently I have the right to life…ahm…thanks…I think? Who decided that? LOL
I suppose a right is something granted to you by something or someone more powerful than yourself. A right is a granted action, pre-permitted so as not to cause paperwork? Where am I going with this you might add?
Well, I got into a discussion today (well yesterday but its 7am and ive not slept yet so who knows when today starts) about fertility treatment. I spoke with someone who knew someone who had been placed on the NHS waiting list for fertility treatment. Quite the wait apparently, hence why so many people go private and pay a small fortune.
I found this rather annoying. I asked why it was that this person was seeking fertility treatment and it was apparently a straightforward blank firing situation. I told the person that I did not agree that the NHS should offer this treatment to which they replied “this person has the right to have a child just like you or me”
When is our society going to learn to say “sorry about that, unlucky, better luck with something else eh”, instead we pour countless money into various things to accomodate pre-supposed “rights”. For the NHS to pay for this treatment purely because this person cannot have a child is ludicrous. No, they DO NOT have the “right” to have a child made for them by the NHS. They have the right to try for a child. If you fail, if you are unable…unlucky! There are countless children looking to be fostered or adopted yet this option is often cast away in the light of fertility treatment…exposing the selfish nature of these peoples intent. It has to be “their ” child. Well, sorry,. but if you are going to place condition on your aquisition of a child, to turn down social services offer of adoption/fostering and insist on fertility treatment, bloody well pay for it.
Fertility treatment is merely the example, but this applies to countless other supposed “rights” that cause a drain on society. The immigration “excuse” of “they have a right live without fear of oppresive regimes” – oh come on…thats the lamest excuse for throwing open the doors iv’e heard for some time. The rest of europe is closing the doors and we are pinned in a corner of acceptance from brussels, with our supposed rights to veto stunted due to partial inclusion…ha! The irony is comical. They have the right to live without fear of oppresion, but to do so they have to pass through 7 other countries that CAN take them and instead stay here…I suppose the fact we are the only country of them all that is throwing out free money has nothing to do with it….
Oh yeah…I have the right to whinge about it in a blog…yay…I think?
Wow, i whinge a lot? im a whinger hehe – yay me. Might have to do something about that.
