   We studied this in junior college: Lockean Labor Theory   
      
   John Locke argued that individuals have a natural right to own the   
   fruits of their labor, a concept known as the Lockean labor theory.   
      
   In his Second Treatise of Government, he stated that because every   
   person owns their own body and labor, when you mix working with your   
   hands and labor with natural resources, you create private property.   
      
   According to Locke, every individual has an absolute, natural right to   
   their own body and the labor it produces. The foundational ethical and   
   legal principles.>

   >>> The concept of self-ownership, the idea that individuals have

   >>> foundational ethical and legal principle.

   >>> You have rights to bodily integrity, autonomy, and inviolability.
