Where is that written?
I would like to point to you that your "private property", including your own body, could be considered as a "natural resource" ready to be exploited by other agents in the environment.
I doubt that throwing copies of "Atlas Shrugged" to their heads is going to change their mind (even signed copies!).

Read up on property rights if you want to learn more about it. >I would like to point to you that your "private property", including your own body, could be considered as a "natural resource" ready to be exploited by other agents in the environment. The principle of property rights is that you cannot make use of natural resources that have already been appropriated and turned into someone else's property, so no, another person couldn't simply exploit my property/body under the property rights framework.
