   First off, coercive capitalism is not a real thing.   
      
   The concept of self-ownership, the idea that individuals have exclusive   
   moral and legal control over their own bodies, is a foundational ethical   
   and legal principle.   
      
   You have rights to bodily integrity, autonomy, and inviolability. This   
   is the basis for prohibitions on assault, battery, and non-consensual   
   medical treatment.   
      
   Legally property rights don't extend to one's body, but in a deeper   
   moral sense the principle of self-ownership treats the body as the   
   original and most fundamental "property" an individual possesses.   
      
   Individuals own themselves because they own their labor, and the body is   
   the instrument of labor. Or as John Locke said, "Every man has a   
   property in his own person". This is the foundation for all rights to   
   external objects. And it's the idea that underpins all of modern human   
   rights theory.
