Do the hallucinations of schizophrenics have a right to exist?

Be sure to read this carefully. I am asking about the rights of the
hallucinations themselves, not the rights of schizophrenics.

A simple yes or no will be satisfactory, but I am of course willing to read
whatever you have to share.

Just as much as any other figment of the imagination.
However I don't believe the Univeral Declaration of Human Rights covers
hallucinations.

Dear Mr. Kane:

Thanks for a lucid and thought provoking response. I have just finished
reading the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and I am not sure I
necessarily agree with you, but it is additional information on which I can
now ponder the concept further.

I am curious: What other sort of figment of the imagination would be in a
position to propose to his host that he in fact did have such a right? I
suppose if a person had "voices in their head" it would be a possibility,
but aside from that I am having trouble picturing a ghost telling someone
they had a right to exist. Although I suppose it is possible. As I said, you
response has been very thought provoking.

Thanks again so much for taking the time and effort to respond.

Sure, especially if you can use them as Movie Script material.

I think that in that case they would fall under the heading of
"intellectual property" -- so the person who hallucinated them would
have rights, but not the hallucinations themselves.
