Shortages, Bloody Shortages

***Begin Quote***
There is a serious moral issue involved here, and it has to do with property rights. Because this piece of legislation infringes the most basic of all rights: self-ownership. The only reason you have any rights is because you have the freedom and responsibility to dispose of yourself, mind and body. Freedom of association (the basis of society), freedom of expression, and all the rest are meaningless unless they stem from self-ownership.

Self-ownership is probably the First Right that needs to be recognized. No one “gives” it to us.
“All men are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights”
If you don’t have right to traffic (buy and sell) in blood, then you really have no rights at all. That’s exactly what the statists would love for you to believe.
