SUMMARY:Book Launch | More Equal than Others: Humans and the Rights of Other Animals
DESCRIPTION:At this event\, Dr. Raffael Fasel discusses his new book\, More Equal than Others: Humans and the Rights of Other Animals\, with additional comments from professors César Rodríguez-Garavito\, Jeremy Waldron & Mattias Kumm. \n  \nSYNOPSIS \nUnprecedented demands have recently arrived at the doorstep of courts and parliaments the world over: nonhuman animals should receive some of the rights that have so far been reserved to human beings. This development has raised fundamental questions about the nature of legal rights\, and who should have them. \nMore Equal Than Others: Humans and the Rights of Other Animals provides a sustained analysis of the fundamental rights of human and nonhuman animals to explore the issue of whether conferring fundamental legal rights to animals would undermine the equal status and rights of humans. \nRaffael N. Fasel proposes an unorthodox but practical solution to this issue: the Species Membership Approach (SMA). According to the SMA\, legal rights and similar entitlements should be granted to animals based on the species to which they belong\, not their individual capacities. By pioneering an approach that focuses on species membership rather than individual capacities\, the author demonstrates how fundamental legal rights can be extended to nonhuman animals without threatening the status and equal rights of humans. \nThis book examines the antithetical nature of the human rights and animal rights conceptions that have so far dominated the debate and demonstrates how a middle ground can be reached between these opposing conceptions. Informed by the forgotten history of animal and human rights in the French Enlightenment\, More Equal Than Others radically reimagines the spectrum of fundamental rights conceptions. \n  \nSPEAKERS \nDr. Raffael Fasel (author)\, Fellow in Law\, Jesus College\, and Assistant Professor-elect in Public Law\, Faculty of Law\, University of Cambridge \nCésar Rodríguez-Garavito\, Chair\, Center for Human Rights and Global Justice; Director\, Earth Rights Advocacy Clinic; Professor of Clinical Law\, NYU School of Law \nJeremy Waldron\, University Professor\, NYU; Professor of Law\, NYU School of Law \nMattias Kumm\, Inge Rennert Professor of Law\, NYU School of Law \nKatrina Wyman (moderator)\, Faculty Director\, Guarini Center; Wilf Family Professor of Property Law\, NYU School of Law \n  \n \n
