And another weakness involving rights-based ethics systems is the issues with defining what are rights and what aren't. It is like, so long as someone can argue for something, they can make anything a right. Pretty much anything can be argued a right. The abortion issue rests in this area of having this problem.
And then by framing everything in terms of rights, issues which do end up resonating as having ethical concerns, and need for restrictions, get framed as rights. People think being cruel to animals is wrong, and that destruction of the earth and pollution, are both issues that need to have the ability to call ethically restrictions. When you have a rights-based ethical system, you end up giving rights to animals and the earth. One might go animals, but then the planet earth has rights? What is a better framework is to call for duties and responsibilities, along with said rights. But, by being rights-based, you have no framework for doing that.
