Personal rights are the rights that a person has over their own body. Among personal rights are associated rights to protect and safeguard the body, most obviously protected by the torts of assault and battery. Furthermore, aspects of personality are protected, such as a person's reputation, by the tort of defamation, and legislation protecting the privacy of individuals.

It has been suggested that this article or section be merged with freedom of movement, freedom of conscience, the next 2 hyperlinks describe one's own body as your "property":, Human_rights#Theory_of_value_and_property, Property#General_characteristics, Privacy#Physical, freedom of assembly, due process and freedom of expression. (Discuss) Proposed since October 2009. |
Adding concepts from the articles ^^above^^ can un-stub this article, as they describe other "rights that a person has over their own body" which aren't yet noted in this stub.
