Body, Self, and the Property Paradigm
Hastings Center Report 22 (5):34-42 (1992)
Abstract
We not only own our bodies, we are our bodies. Can we simply alienate parts of them? Both a theology of stewardship and the principle of self‐ownership would seem to permit or even encourage us to do this.My notes
