The concept of a right to bodily security centres partly on freedom from being forced to do things with one’s body and freedom from intrusion on it. Restriction of this right can be consistent with respecting individuals but seemingly only where its exercise would clash with their own interests or the rights of others. In spite of this, restriction founded on meeting the mere needs of others has been a persistent feature of discourse, law and practice in a number of fields, not least research where it is often targeted at incapable persons.
