I wonder if we would let them sell some of those things after death. If people really owned their bodies in the same way that they own property, we would presumably allow people to sell all of their body parts. Do we let people destroy their bodies? For centuries there were laws against self-mutilation and against suicide, now while we do allow organ donations upon death, would we allow a person to give his or her heart, while alive? When Eisenhower was President and had a heart attack, a few people came along and said that they wanted to give him their hearts. The technology was not developed enough for this to become a reality and most members of the public thought that these people were crazy. In any event, I do not think we would let living people give their hearts away merely because they were tired of living.
OMG keeps saying my request timed out -_-
Anyways yes we don't own our bodies either, with the organ donor sticker its pretty much a go ahead to not save the life but preserve the organ.
We would be forced into military or to pay all owing dept like it was years ago to if it came down to it. The freedoms and laws we have now are only good until it isn't in the governments favor.
We don't own anything we think we own, nor do we have free will,
