Self-ownership and voluntary slavery.
Wright, Aaron.

Self-ownership and voluntary slavery. - 27 p.

Adviser: Robert Johnson.

Thesis (M.A.)--University of Missouri - Columbia, 2005.

In the following paper I address a puzzling paradox that is especially pertinent to those who claim that we have ownership rights over ourselves. The paradox arises when one holds both that there are inalienable rights and that one has robust ownership rights to one's own body. For, if I robustly own my body, then I should be able to give myself into slavery. Yet, if I have inalienable rights, then one of those must be the right to liberty, then I must not be able to give myself into slavery. First, I will examine what property rights over oneself must look like and why this conflicts with our intuition that we cannot sell ourselves into slavery. Then, I will examine some previous attempts to solve this paradox, and why those attempts fail. Finally, I will suggest that the solution to this problem seems to be that we may need to reject the claim that we have robust self-ownership.
