My first post in forever...

They have no rights.

Why should zombies have rights? Well ok, if they are vegan zombies then they can live, but if someone is trying to eat me, well I have the right to defend myself and ther ones I love. Besides, since technically zombies are dead, the only thing that is illegal would be abuse of a corpse if you shoot them or dismember them. They are not alive so normal rights would not apply.

For something to have rights, they must be cognicent of those rights. The traditional concept of zombies does not leave much room for making such a claim. However if intelligent self aware zombies were to emerge then you might be able to make a case for it.

Rights? All i have to say is if they try to put their grubby fingers on me the only right they'll have is several beatings about the head with my baseball bat..

Rights both practical (privilege, property etc) and theoretical (human, moral etc) end with death. This is why we have wills and trusts and estate laws. So you can make these decisions while you are still alive and coherent. (See Terry Schiavo) Once a person is declared dead by a medical professional or proven to be dead by a preponderance of evidence (clinical brain death or having your insides made your outsides) their rights as a person end. So, from a legal standpoint, a zombie is not person, nor is it an animal, nor a ward of the state. They have no rights except to get shot in the head and stay dead.

They are "dead" to rights. All I'm saying is that the only "rights" they have is a bullet/axe/bat/whatever you like to the brain. If a rabid dog can be put down, then so can a zombie.

This is a rising population that ALL frameworks for rights, legal or moral, failed to anticipate (how could it be anticipated?) and therefore falls into no pre-existing category and cannot be judged based on pre-existing laws. Everything pertaining to this GROWING populace is going to have to be dealt with from scratch. Yeah, they're ugly and different and cannibalistic and CONFUSED - at least most of them. But we can't just keep killing everything that pops up that we don't (yet) understand. Our bottled-up primitive instincts make our trigger fingers itchy for SOMETHING to kill indiscriminately, but really, will that magic guiltless target ever exist? This may or MAY NOT be it. Time will tell.

I dont think they do, but I'm sure the ACLU and other liberals with work for it! They'll start up programs, (supported by gov't funds, I'm sure) like, People for the Ethical Treatment of Zombies (PETZ), free college education, equal employment, housing programs, etc....

As it has been stated, as of existing laws -- zombies would have no rights. They are officially dead and all rights end with death. You don't have a right to life, liberty, schooling, the basic meal, or anything like that after you are dead. Have you ever seen a dead person fight for their right to do or say anything?
Even after we create new laws to deal with zeds, what are we going to do? Let's see, "Amendment X -- Barhah. No person shall kill an undead person or deprive an undead person of basic rights. These rights inclue rights stated in the first Y amendments and all amendments hereforth created." BAH! Yes, America, the land of the free.
No gay marriages, no adoption of children for gay couples, no marijuana (unless it is medical and you live in MI), prejudice, racial descrimination, and the only place where zeds can get a job. Pfffft....
Imagine:
Walmart, a nice sunny day outide, and a woman is looking to buy some diapers for her newborn baby.
"Excuse me, sir, do you work here?"
"Mrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrh! *munch*"
Awesome.

wow this got pretty hardcore. I think the PETZ thing was pretty clever, though. what if the coherent undead reapply for new birth certificates, social security numbers, citizenship, and are taxed and abide by the same laws as everyone else? or are we looking at a pretty decisive "aye" to just herding them off to the glue factory or to make into dog food? and is it safe to feed zombies to dogs? where is the debate in this conversation? everyone seems in agreement.

well i will answer theoretically since zombies do not exist... i suppose that the unalienable rights and any others given and or earned by that individual would disperse at death.
