Not by choice. You're stranded, by a storm, let's say.

Or someone that is paralyzed from the neck down.

 

 

i would say that such a person lacks freedom.

 

You want to take planet Earth to the court room because of a storm? Everyone is effected by that storm, and not everyone will feel the same way.

The paralyzed person lacks freedom of movement due to a disability, but they still have their natural and legal rights. If it was caused from an accident by another person, then that person will be held accountable. Therefore liberty is a relation among persons IMO.

Wouldn't they have lost their natural rights? They've lost their freedom of movement and ability to properly survive on their own.
