There's nothing strange about feeling entitled to love. In fact, for a portion of our lives, it is enshrined in law that we must receive love. Children have both the moral and legal right to love.

However, Liao's position has been argued against. Not because love shouldn't be a children's right. Instead, the question is, Why stop at children? What about adults, and what about animals? Do they not have rights?
So here's how it's going down, toilets. You either love us, or we're calling Ben Crump and filing civil rights charges against you all for depriving us of our right to love. Without love, we will rope. You are morally, philosophically, and legal obliged to love us if you give a rat's ass about human rights. It is bullshit that anyone thinks that the right to love suddenly disappears when you turn 16 like fucking Timmy Turner losing his fairies. You still have the same psychological needs, and most of us incels weren't even loved as children so we already have the basis for civil rights charges against the toilets that rejected us in childhood.
- In 1974, Foster and Freed wrote in their article “A Bill of Rights for Children” that “a child has a moral right and should have a legal right, to receive parental love and affection.” Such a legal right now exists in Israel, Japan, Mozambique, and the United States and appears in the preamble of United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CROC): “a child should grow up in an atmosphere of happiness, love and understanding.” The assertion that children have not only a moral but a legal claim to love, with all the State power of enforcement that entails, seems to ask a lot more of the child/parent/State relationship than we currently conceive.
- Matthew Liao states that children have a right to be loved as a human right on the grounds that human beings have rights to those conditions that are primary essential for a good life.

- It might be worth exploring whether any being that has the genetic basis for moral agency also has the genetic basis for living a good life. If so, this view of rightholding would support all the claims that Liao is interested in defending with respect to children. It would, however, also support attributing rights to non-human animals, an issue about which Liao tries to remain uncommitted.
