Would you say they no longer have rights, since they incapable of acting?

Interesting concept, for humans even inaction is an action, a choice taken. It could be that when the actor stops being an actor(is dead) he looses his rights? *shrug*

It's beyond me. :)

The same reason valid(?) humans do not have rights.

Or he never actually had rights, so nothing is lost, and there isn't any problem. It makes more sense to me.

Jackson LaRose:
On a seperate note,what if an individual wanted to commit suicide, but lacked the means to do so, say, was quadriplegic, would that be considered an example of someone who valued death over life, yet was still alive?

How about this example.

There are several prerequisites before human action can take place. One of which is where man has options which he believes will relieve his uneasiness.

In the situation you descrived man simply does not act. Since we cannot analyze his phsyche it's safe to assume presently he chooses life to death.

Equally I would like to fly, but the only options I have available to me are extremely expensive or impossible. Other men would like to blink wealth into existence but they are incapable of acting on these desires. So the situation you described is one where man has analyzed his options and finds nothing suitable to justify acting.
