 There are several objections to Liao’s thesis. The most prominent is that there cannot be rights without correlative duties, and there cannot be a duty to do what we cannot do; since we cannot fully control our love for particular persons, there cannot be a right to love (Cowden 2012b; Brighouse &amp; Swift 2014). Against this objection, (which he anticipates) Liao (2006) argues that we can do more than it is commonly assumed in order to control our feelings of love. However, as Brake (2011) noted, love is responsive to the qualities of the beloved—which are outside of the lover’s control and which can change—and therefore there are important limits to agent’s abilities to control their loving. This may be enough to show that there cannot be a duty to love.
