Do animals deserve rights in the same way that human beings do? How can those rights be determined, and do they differ from animal to animal based on complexity?

In this presentation at the University of Chicago in 2021, Professor Nussbaum walks us through different intellectual and political approaches to animal rights, and some of the controversies that exist in this poorly explored and under-realized area of applied ethics.
