Regarding Rights

ameshaa@aol.com

Ron from Prospect states that I am being intellectually dishonest by claiming people have the right to do what they wish to their own body in the face of laws that prohibit suicide, etc. I do not believe that just because a law exists restraining someone's freedom of action the right to do so is nullified. Laws against suicide, drug use, and the like show that the government doesn't recognize these rights, not that people do not have them.

Also, I agree with the sentiments expressed by John E. of Butler regarding drug legalization.
