I still think “owning one’s self”, while correct, is not *enough*. A human body – your self – is far *more* than just property. I don’t think it negates any/much of libertarian theory, but I think it refines it. Its implications are mostly in the area of “punishment”, which means I’ll probably have to go reread your damned estoppel articles again.
Anyways: congrats!
