Well, you could argue that from several avenues. The basic premise is that no man is above, or has any legitimate claim to someone else naturally. The right to self-ownership asserts the absolute right of each man, by virtue of his (or her) being a human being, to “own” his or her own body; that is, to control that body free of coercive interference. Since each individual must think, learn, value, and choose his or her ends and means in order to survive and flourish, the right to self-ownership gives man the right to perform these vital activities without being hampered and restricted by coercive molestation.
In other words, the right to self ownership comes naturally from just being. It is not asserted because a law dictates it as such, or that a higher being from scripts of old had denoted it as such (as is usually not the case at all.)
