If rights are just “declared” based on group membership then they lack a moral foundation.

If they’re grounded in #sentience (the capacity for experiencing, for valuing, for having a perspective & interests) their foundation is strong.

Yet it risks us losing focus on those beings with interests & experiences. Those beings who can experience benefit & harm.

An ethical flattening that can enable terrible wrongs.
