Self-Ownership as Personal Sovereignty

John Thrasher challenges the traditional libertarian idea that people “own themselves” like property. Instead, he proposes that individuals should be seen as sovereigns over their own bodies—meaning they have the exclusive right to control and govern themselves. This model avoids the confusing implications of self-as-property while preserving the core idea of personal autonomy. It aligns closely with the 3L philosophy, emphasizing non-aggression, personal freedom, and voluntary moral boundaries.
