>What is wrong in rich people parting their wealth to help poor people while benefiting their family members ?

What's wrong is that life and health should be a right to everybody, not just to those who can buy it out.

I am unable to see how life and health can be right without justifying force and violence. If someone needs a Kidney and if it is a right then it must be forcibly taken from someone else without that you can not call it a right.

Or you know, it can be either taken from a donations pool where everybody has access to, or the person may just not have it.

Prioritizing the rich to live is not really ethical in my book.

If the donation pool is limited and a sick person is not allowed to use his wealth to save himself, it is violence on the sick person.
