Firstly, there is a tremendous difference between “guaranteeing” the right to live and merely stating that it is a fundamental right. It states that citizens have the right to live, “save in accordance of the law.” What is that supposed to mean, exactly? Further, consider that the right to live is intimately bound with two other fundamental rights: a) speech, and b) property. Secondly, the scientists who conduct the national poverty estimate need to define poverty in order to proceed with data analysis. Should the state abandon the “language of poverty” and charitable approach to poverty reduction?
