Taking a strict Constitutionalist view, I don’t want the government telling me what I can, and cannot do with my own body. If I want to destroy it through the ingestion of harmful substances, that’s my right - ignorant and irresponsible as it may be.
Having absolute sovereignty over ones own physical body is at the very root of natural property rights. No government has a right to the disposition and function of my very flesh and bones.
Now, I don’t personally use drugs of any kind, unless prescribed by a doctor, but I can choose not to take those, if I wish. I also have a right to ingest them, if I think they’re beneficial to me in some way.
I oppose any push to grant government rights over my body.
They decided that they did with Terri.
