 If, as the arguments in subsection  3.2.  and  3.3.  indicate, some personal relationship goods are essential for survival and health and for developing autonomy, then they are also necessary in order to ensure the securing of various (human) rights. This at least will be the case on the interest theory of rights (Brownlee 2013, forthcoming): If rights protect powerful interests, and if we have powerful interests in surviving, in opportunities to preserve our health, and to pursue our (reasonable) conception of life etc., then our social needs have to be met for our rights to be respected. She concludes this is a reason to believe that we also have an even more urgent right to those personal relationship goods that are necessary in order to stay alive, remain healthy, develop, and have the physical and psychological conditions necessary to pursue any life plans.
