Kind of like selling your soul to the devil, but more tangible. |
You can sell/donate your body to science. They will tattoo your foot stating that your body is the property of such and such medical center and your corpse is to be returned to them. It was $10K in the early 1990's as I recall... not sure if they still do it.
The larger issue is a topic that is usually discussed by freedom loving people. If you, as a human, were truly free then you would own your body.
So do you own your body? Most would say, "Hell yeah I own my body". If you own something, such as land, you can buy, sell, and trade it. It is illegal to sell your body parts. It is illegal to put unapproved chemicals into your body. It is illegal to end your life. In some states tattoo parlors are outlawed. More and more states are dictating how food is cooked.
To truly deem oneself 'FREE' you should be able to do whatever you want with your body. No country, on this planet, allows such things. As time progresses and various parts of the world become more "progressive"... the ownership of your body becomes less and less yours and more and more the states.
