problem as these replies i think show, is that if I don’t have a right, why do you have a responsibility? Thing is, you don’t, you have a choice to, but there is no responsibility.
You really can’t have responsibility without positive rights. I don’t have a right to a nintendo ds. That also means that no one has a responsibility to give me one. Someone may if they choose to, but no one would say they were shirking a responsibility if they didn’t.
If a person is altruistic, it’s like you said, they don’t have to be. But without a right, you will find no one has any responsibility, and its really just the personal motives of the donor that drives the decision.
