> In America, you have the draft which to me means you loose the right to your body. The draft hasn't been used in America since 1973 - our military service is all volunteer. What we do have, though, is called "Selective Service" - basically when you turn 18 years of age (and on thru 25 years of age), you have to register for "Selective Service" which is there to provide a list of "able and ready" (but maybe not willing) members of society which can be called up in a re-instated draft if and when it becomes necessary. It has yet to be used.
