Evaluating the Concept of Property in Public Utilities
A city council is debating whether to allow a private company to purchase the city's public water utility. A critic argues, 'Water is a basic human right, not a piece of private property.' Evaluate this critic's statement by applying the three fundamental rights that constitute ownership. Does classifying the utility as private property necessarily conflict with the idea of water as a human right? Explain your reasoning.
