Expanding the Rights Rubric: Adding Rights and Rights Holders for a Good SocietyDiscussion with Sushma Raman on The Coming Good Society: Why New Realities Demand New Rights, her book with William F. Schulz. We discuss the need for specific rights to redress the needs of LGBTQIA+ communities and why adding new rights reinforces rather than dilutes traditional human rights. We also discuss the risks posed to our rights by technological advancement, including algorithmic decision-making and CRISPR and how to address these from a rights perspective. Additionally, we discuss the need to view corruption as a human rights violation per se. We also discuss the need to ascribe rights to non-humans, including the environment, AI and a tiered approach to animal rights.For More Info:https://www.openglobalrights.org/the-coming-good-society-why-new-realities-demand-new-rights/https://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?isbn=9780674977082Twitter: @sushmaramanhttps://harvardpress.typepad.com/hup_publicity/2020/09/qa-with-william-f-schulz-and-sushma-raman-authors-of-the-coming-good-society.html
