I am asking if you can punch YOURSELF--in YOUR body??? Because if YOUR body is not YOUR body...then who in the HELL's body IS IT???

Sure I can punch my own body if I wanted to do so, but I don't understand the relevance of this fact. The right I have to take action with or on my body are limited because I do not have the right to harm some one else. I was talking about punching you because you are someone else. If you were standing in front of me and I felt like suddenly moveing my fist towards where your face is I would not have the right to do that while you are standing there even though it is my fist.

Do you accept the idea that the rights you derive from your ownership of your own body do not extend to the right to harm others?
