Actually, not true by the defnition of inalienable right: something of which you may be deprived, but no other person may gain.

It is possible to take from you real or chattel property, funds, papers, etc., and give them to another. Your life (though no longer your organs and tissues), your liberty, your happiness, not so.

Those are inalienable in that they cannot exist seperate frome you.

Definition of inalienable:

That cannot be transferred to another or others: inalienable rights.

Not subject to sale or transfer; inseparable.

That which is inalienable cannot be bought, sold, or transferred from one individual to another. The personal rights to life and liberty guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States are inalienable. Similarly, various types of property are inalienable, such as rivers, streams, and highways.
