So as long as our own actions don't intrude on another person's freedoms, the actions should be legal and the government should not place any restrictions on them. If a certain action causes harm to another then that person's rights have been infringed and we should be held accountable for the action. Some acts seem to fall under the category of causing personal harm to one's self such as contracting to be a slave/mutilated, over-the-counter sale of.
heroin and valium, and not wearing seat belts. Upon closer inspection, it can be seen that these acts can cause harm to others and impinge on others" rights. It is for this reason that these acts should be illegal, not.
because they cause harm to the self.
The over-the-counter sale of heroin and valium can lead to the serious harm of other human beings by those that are using the drugs. These two drugs have extreme consequences when used and can lead to the grave danger of others. Those that take these drugs can become enraged, lose control of their senses, or even hallucinate. These side effects have serious consequences to those surrounding the drug user, not only the drug user himself. The drugs could cause the person to act in such a manner that he would normally not.
be accustomed to acting. This could impact those around him if he decides to do something under the influence of the drugs which may cause harm to others, such as drive or even go to the mall. The drug user.
could become so enraged by such a minor thing that he takes his anger out on another person. This infringes on that other person's rights. Some might argue that all drugs and even alcohol could cause this to.
happen as well. I am not denying this totally. I am saying that the use of valium and heroin are dramatically more likely to cause this to occur and therefore are more severe in nature. To make these drugs legal would.
be to drastically put more people in harm's way.
