The Universal Declaration of Human Rights reads: “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood”.

This seems obvious to us today, but many people throughout history didn’t believe in these ideals.

Many would wonder how it could be that every human being, regardless of capacity or usefulness, could be considered equally valuable.

Truth be told, it's hard to find the logic behind the Universal Declaration of Human Rights anywhere in historical literature … apart from the Bible.
