In the 1970s, scientist John B. Calhoun created a “mouse utopia.” A world without hunger, disease, or danger. Food was endless, water was clean, shelter was plentiful. It was meant to be paradise. Instead, it became a nightmare. Violence, neglect, and sterility spread until the entire colony died out. The project became infamous as Universe 25—a chilling lesson about the dangers of comfort without purpose.

No one wants to be treated like an object, regarded as an item of property, or put up for sale. Yet many people frame personal autonomy in terms of self-ownership, representing themselves as property owners with the right to do as they wish with their bodies. Others do not use the language of property, but are similarly insistent on the rights of free individuals to decide for themselves whether to engage in commercial transactions for sex, reproduction, or organ sales. Drawing on analyses of rape, surrogacy, and markets in human organs, Our Bodies, Whose Property? challenges notions of freedom based on ownership of our bodies.
