[Disambiguator]

At last month's meeting of the President's Council on Bioethics, Dr. Peter Lawler declared that the very idea that people own their organs was an "offense [to] dignity."

Any time the word "ethics" appears anywhere in someone's title, you can sure that they have none.

Also, this line of thinking is what leads to UPD (Unilateral Personal Disarmament, a.k.a. gun bans). Since you don't own your body, you have no right to defend it.

You know, given this line of "reasoning," then it's perfectly within the right of the government to outlaw abortion, since you don't "own" your body, nor any part of it. The government owns it, and the little tax-payer growing inside.
