The rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are individual rights that can exist without oppressing others. In contrast, if health care were considered a right, doctors would be legally obligated to provide health care to everyone, rendering them involuntary servants. Imagine what would happen if everyone had a right to happiness. Rather than getting joy from the fruits of oneâÄôs own labor, it would be a duty to sacrifice oneself to serve the happiness of others. Thankfully, that is not the case, nor should it become so. Christopher Ziolkowski University undergraduate student
