FORTIFYING RIGHTS AT THE EDGE OF A NEW WORLD Natural Persons, Bodily Sovereignty, and the Frontiers of Rights Law in the Digital, Biological, and Spatial Age. A single word separates freedom from exploitation: #persons. It was a legal firewall erected against a pattern of abuse the world had already witnessed in its most grotesque form. Today that firewall is being tested again. And we are running out of time to reinforce it. “Everyone has the right to recognition everywhere as a #person before the #law.” Personhood is the gate through which every other protection in the Declaration must pass, and the drafters knew it. Any being who is a natural person, regardless of cultural practice, genetic modification, technological augmentation, or planetary location, **holds inalienable rights** But the danger returns. As genetic engineering advances and as the definition of normal human shifts toward augmented baselines, we risk recreating the same bifurcation: those who meet the new standard of ENHANCED/IMPROVED human, and those – including UNMODIFIED indigenous communities who OPT OUT out of medical intervention - who are GENETICALLY UNIMPROVED. https://www.malone.news/p/fortifying-rights-at-the-edge-of
