Individual rights

"30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS"  [13+]
Does any government have a right to say what you can or cannot do with your body?

Maybe it’s about abortion, or drug usage like smoking, or pregnancy, or suicide, or sex work, or voluntary amputation, or gender reassignment surgery, or organ donor after death. I think it’s a person’s right to do with their body what they think is best. It’s an individual right.

A government can say what they think is best for their citizens to protect them from harm or abuse. They also want to protect the cost of health care so it’s natural they have a say in this as well. But the ultimate power in this lies with the individual, I think.
