My oral English teacher gave us a topic :which one do you think is the most important human right in your mind. During our discussion ,I said that I thought the right to live and to be healthy is the most important ,but most of my classmates argued that if one had no freedom ,it's no use for him to have a healthy body ,and I think it also make sense ,because if we have no freedom ,we live just like prisoners.but if we die or we are not healthy ,isn't it very miserable ? What's your opinion upon this topic?Let's share .Thank you !

That's a hard one because what good is your freedom in you are not in good enough health to enjoy it? But even freedom these days has a big grey area, because I don't see what we are so free from here in the U.S. when we are constantly having our civil rights diminished.

I was about to say freedom and you already told that. Freedom is the best right than any thing else. Just imagine if you go to somebody else's house, do you feel comfortable? When you are in your house, however small it is, dirty it is, without basic comforts it is, still you are the king there. Which one you prefer? Comfortable neighbour's house or compact, less comfortable your own house? So this is the best example to say FREEDOM is the best right. Welcome to mylot friend. Enjoy yourself.
