Sure, why not? We can create legal rights for anything we want to. ALL legal rights are the creation of a society. You even only "own" land because the legislature has enacted laws saying that you can and do. A lot of people have tried to come up with "natural rights" theories for property ownership, but they've had a tough time of it.
This doesn't mean that it's a good idea to do so.
What fallacies...?
