What are the limits of free speech? (1 Viewer)

there is no right to kill in self-defence that is prescribed in the law
I think we're talking about different things here dude. I thought The Scientician's original question was about rights in the abstract, moral sense where you're talking about them in the legal sense. I most people would agree that it's morally ok to kill someone in self-defence, or in defence of your family, and therefore the moral right to life is not absolute
 
Manslaughter is killing which is without premeditation nothing to do with whether it is in self defence or not. You do have a right to kill in self defence provided your actions are proportionate to the threat to yourself.

Strangely - if you slaughter a man (the way in which animals are slaughtered at an abattoir), you'll be charged with murder.
