GMAT Critical Reasoning (CR) | Owners of any work of art

Shanna: Owners of any work of art, simply by virtue of
ownership, ethically have the right to destroy
that artwork if they find it morally or
aesthetically
distasteful, or if caring for it becomes
inconvenient.
Jorge: Ownership of unique artworks, unlike
ownership of other kinds of objects, carries the
moral right to possess but not to destroy. A
unique work of art with aesthetic or historical
value belongs to posterity and so must be
preserved, whatever the personal wishes of its
legal owner.
