When you give someone a gift, you're accepting the possibility that they may squander it. We're not puppets, after all.

Fair enough, but we also hold responsiblity to that gift and then comes consequences. Especially if this gift was way precious and not only important to you but also to others.

Very interesting take on it. I suppose a "gift" denotes passing ownership to the person you're gifting to. Arguing on the semantics of "gift", you could say we own our own bodies, and still be within the bounds of that religious view.

Without a religious lens, I would argue it could still be a good philosophical question. Ownership is often considered to mean "total control" of something, but I don't think that's quite right. You might own a dog, but won't be in total control of all of it's actions and behaviours. In that sense, I would say I own my own body, but don't have full control over everything that happens to it. For example, if someone makes me laugh, I don't necessarily choose to laugh as it's an involuntary response. You could also go down the route of women's rights and abortion laws. Or as Kurd pointed out, there's also medical aspects to consider.

Actually, Boudica about that abortion.. The fetus will have his own soul after 40 days of pregnancy. Parent have all right not to induce a pregnancy but after 40 days according to human rights and religions you are going to kill someone who has soul and his/her heart is beating.
