I'm not arguing that people should not have bodily autonomy. By denying that self-ownership is the basis for all rights, I am not arguing it is okay for someone else to treat another human being like property. That's a false dilemma. I believe in a strong concept of individual rights. I just don't think property as a concept is necessary for, or a convincing basis for, their foundation.
