The body ownership argument fails. The State also prohibits fraud and murder, and that is common to all States
Fraud and murder are crimes against others. If I murder you I have taken your right to life. If I murder myself I have not taken your right to life.
If I eat a pear, I have not taken your right to not eat a pear.
The body ownership argument stands.

Fails. You do not own yourself. You are not property to be owned, which includes being sold or otherwise disposed of.
For the victimless crime argument: the true self does not exist independently of the community. Every thing you do affects others.
