    I think you’re going too far away from the idea of body autonomy if you get into economics of buying and selling parts of your body. That requires something outside your body as an influence and isn’t in the same scope that the author was making.

      I think you’re going too far away from the idea of body autonomy if you get into economics of buying and selling parts of your body.

      Then what IS the scope of “bodily autonomy is an essential unconditional liberty”. Placing limits like economic interactions sounds like a “condition” which would be in conflict with the quote. My argument is the author’s statement is too broad.

      That requires something outside your body as an influence and isn’t in the same scope that the author was making.

      I have no context for the quote besides the picture. If you know its context, I’d be interested.
