Who Says You Own Your Own Body?
I'd like to believe one owns themselves.
The problem is people often ask who says that one owns their own body?
Though i have pointed out to people that if one doesn't believe in self ownership then its allowing others to lay claim to your body & that is the slippery slope towards slavery, people don't seem to buy that it.
They persist in the question of who says you own your own body?
Anybody have any thoughts?

I say I own my own body and you own yours. Not because any special god or person decreed it so, but simply because self ownership in general is a basic human need. Without the meeting of that need the world moves away from the goal of maximum happiness. It's based on simple observation and reason as with any natural law. If someone finds that self ownership is not conducive to happiness let us compare evidences and present our cases for discussion. Who do they feel should own them?
"Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe."
