b_b said that slavery is wrong

    Because the most basic human right is the right of self-determination. The essence of being a human is the right to choose.

This is clear, concise, and, to my mind at least, axiomatic. We could discuss why self-determination is fundamental, but I haven't seen anyone disagree that it is.
