No, the question of what kind of things should count as property only makes sense if we determine what kind of right property is.

If it's social convention, then the only standard for modifying our understanding of property is "is this change useful". If so, then we're free to adapt the principle.

If it's a natural right, then we are significantly more limited in how we can change property rights.
