There are no inalienable rights. There are just the things we allow and don't allow at a given moment in time.
To me, this song highlights the whole problem :

Bob shot one and Louis shot two,
Shot poor Louis Collins, shot him through and through,
Angels laid him away.

Angels laid him away,
Laid him 6 feet under the clay,
Angels laid him away.

Miss Collins wept--Miss Collins moaned,
Just to see her son, Louis Collins, leavin' home,
Angels laid him away.

Oh, my lord, now, ain't it hard,
Just to see your son, Louis Collins, layin' in the new graveyard,
Angels laid him away.

("Louis Collins" --- Mississippi John Hurt--1928)
